You must be the change you wish to see
Opportunities will not come knocking at your door; you must create them
No one is coming to save you–you must learn to climb the mountain yourself
The only way is up–otherwise you’re stuck in the past
The world hasn’t ended just yet, so unfortunately, you have to clock in until you make something of yourself
Life is fucking hard–believe no one if they try to convince you otherwise
Fuck the algorithm, eventually the internet will shut down and then what will you do to promote yourself
Having a purpose means your path will be much lonelier, even if people surround you
Anger will arise–that depression you thought was over will eventually return like a boomerang
You will realize that your manic never really left, you just learned to mask it better for a few years
You’ll blame the reason you’ve felt so shitty on the moon and its cycles
Perhaps it’s a retrograde
And sure, that may add to some of the reasons as to why you are feeling the way you are feeling
You may even decide to fast to clear your mind
Or say fuck America and impulsively search up how to move to Thailand with only 5 dollars to your name
You may contemplate all the ways you could take your own life and make it not appear as suicide because the suicidal thoughts have come back stronger than ever
You will cry
And cry
A lot–because you don’t have the balls to actually kill yourself
And so you will suffer through life
Burning sage and chanting Hindu mantras, hoping that a god will free you from all misery
You will learn about buddahood and realize suffering may never cease
And that too will make you cry
And want to die
all at the same time
You will wonder, well, what is the purpose of my life if the rich only get richer by feeding off the poor, and the poor only get poorer by being enslaved to toxic capitalism by the rich
Your mind will feel confined inside a cage, trying to make sense of all that in which causes you to feel deranged
You will endure the lowest of lows and beg for a high
You will wonder just why you were even cast down here as one of God's strongest soldiers
You will recite the scripture over and over until your tongue grows sore
“Just the faith of a mustard seed…”
You may even cast a pentacle on the ground with flames to ignite its power
And still…
You will suffer
Wondering what it all means…
There will come a time when you don’t believe in a God
And well…it will be true
Or you may turn to another God than the one in which you’ve been conditioned to believe in and well..
That will also be truth for you
No matter what God you turn to–all of them will tell you
The only way is up.
There are no shortcuts.
You cannot go under it
You cannot go around it
You must go through.
You must create your own reality
For the reality you are in now is only a product of past thoughts, turned action, made real.
You will read all the manifestation books you can find and sit for hours listening to how to master the law of attraction
You will hear stories in which you’ve never witnessed that seem too good to be true
You will repeat affirmation after affirmation until you annoy the hell out of your own self and eventually stop
You will do all the things
And feel that you’ve exhausted all of your options and reasonings on why you should even want to stay here on this god forsaken planet
You will wish life to be easier and somehow it will become harder
You will want to climb back down the mountain
But you will look down and be afraid of the fall just as much as the climb
And so you will linger for some time
Stuck at a crossroads
Arms growing tired
Legs giving out
Some people fall from the mountain
Some take breaks and keep it moving
What you decide is ultimately up to you
For we were given the power of choice in this life….
So choose.
