If someone told you about life, you’d think it was a video game. “Hi. There are your starting cards. The world sort of doesn’t owe you anything. You get to try to survive.” https://t.co/1B5yPqQJMW
2️⃣ You don’t have to care about the main player. Want to care about an NPC? Invest more in their storyline than yours? Totally ok. You’ll want to keep your health stats up, naturally. But you don’t have to play for the main any more than you want to.
“I just get to paint the world however I want?” “Yes. But you’ll have to overcome resentment and inaction first.” https://t.co/FxeY1t3pK3
“That sounds unfair.” “It is. Now go. And don’t forget that.” https://t.co/GwDRMS1TBD

The controls are a bit tough. There’s resentment and inaction and people vying attention all over. But if I’m very careful . . . https://t.co/aMifrsspxY
That “very careful” is what it’s always been. focusing caring attention + taking yourself more seriously than even you dare to https://t.co/apm6RQbgpD
🎶 Welcome to life. Your body is the part of the world you get to do telekinesis with. It’s a little difficult to operate. Sometimes it gets resentful and scared and blurry. Figuring the heart out is a big part of the challenge. https://t.co/BjOAsNxSig https://t.co/snvICWDlvc

Sermonposting without shitposting gets you pedestalized, which is dehumanizing Shitpost too much and nobody takes you seriously, which is also kind of dehumanizing You can nerdpost forever quite happily, but it can be a lonely and frustrating experience The flow is the point https://t.co/HYsXv2Bhpc
