the way Manlfestatlon Swltch by Selena Smlth reframes desire vs alignment is worth the price of the entire book alone. changed my entire approach to how i think about goals and what actually needs to be true internally before anything shifts externally

True freedom came to me mentally and spiritually when I allowed myself to be “average”

I genuinely can’t put into words how accurately you’ve described something I’ve felt for my entire life. It’s as if you’ve taken a feeling I’ve never been able to articulate and expressed it perfectly.

This explains me so well. I’ve just expected to “make it” someday through creative stuff. But I never actually committed to it. I’m trying now at 26 though! (Some of my recent work for fun)

Do you think this is unique to your generation - assuming you are Gen Z? As an elder millennial, I feel this way about all the trash tabloids I consumed which led me to believe a similar myth albeit through a different form of media.

It is anomaly. The fact of the matter is that this kind of life is accessible only to a very limited number of people because most of us have to do jobs that keep society running but don’t pay well enough to live that lifestyle, or a pale facsimile of it. Not everyone can just make money online because someone has to be a teacher, someone has to be a janitor, someone has to be a nurse. The problem is the system that crushes people with cost of living and (if you’re anywhere other than Europe for the most part) lack of worker protections.

I feel you man. Growing up watching YouTubers made me think that success was something that was handed to you. It didn’t matter what work you put in or what you sacrifice, it’s however many people give you a thumbs up, how many people watch you live your life. It took me years to disassociate from that and realise that true success is living for yourself and not the crowd.

Music did this in me. I will play in front of an audience someday, it’s hard to write music I’ve been trying to since I was a kid. I refuse to make bull crap, and I know what actually sounds good. I won’t accept pity. I want people to love my music. Not because I want fame. But because I wanna matter. I want some kid to see me, and make their own thing happen
