Oh no…
There it is.
The feeling!
The feeling of
‘I am not doing enough.’
‘I am not where I should have been right now.’
‘I am way behind on my secret, invisible, BURNING schedule.’
‘I am not nearly taking enough chances.’
‘I am a fucking loser.’
That feeling.
Like you have been asleep for a year while everyone else advanced.
Dramatically.
Successfully.
Incredibly.
Everyone, except you.
Like the world is a big party, and you’re never invited.
And never will be.
That feeling.
Like you swallowed a bucket of ‘hurry!!’.
But whereto, and how, and why?
The clock is ticking!
You’re not getting any younger!
It’s now or never!
Yeah, that feeling.
Well…
Tell it to fuck off.
You’re EXACTLY where you’re supposed to be.
