You missed it.
Life.
You have crippling self-doubt, your smartphone-bound dopamine addiction, anxiety, isolation, and the decision to die on those hills.
You’re at this amazing party full of amazing people and you decide to dance by yourself.
Out on the porch.
Recording a challenge for TikTok.
And you missed it.
the reality
connection
People.
You miss the glimmer of Greg’s lustful gaze as he talks about his new Mazda and the power it will bring him. A subtle violation that your father found while doing some repairs in your childhood home. Your girlfriend sighs in annoyance as she does the dishes while you watch yesterday’s game highlights.
You missed your best friend’s attempt to reveal her deepest fears to you when all you wanted were restaurant photos.
Dude, you’re missing it.
the point.
The scenery.

God tried it. Enjoy the world. The real world. Not the one you invented in your head. And of course they don’t sell you
Reject the lies and embrace life.

observation.
Notice how hard your partner is working for your attention, recognition and approval. How your coworker struggles with simple tasks not because they’re incompetent but because they’re juggling too much.
don’t miss out
Get your narcissism out of the way and stop being so self-absorbed. You are important, but you are hardly the most important.
Be grounded. Live where your feet are. Catch your breath.
Don’t let your life pass you by.
don’t miss out
It doesn’t come back.
