121. It’s just you against the world

But you can win.

We’re all thrust into this world without our consent. Before we’re even conscious of it, we’re then shaped and molded into the hopes and dreams of our parents. We’re told that we’re special and different and that we can be anything we want to be.

Then you grow up and you see things for what they are. People are desperate, trying to carve out meaningful lives while running faster and faster on the hamster wheel. You can’t win by running faster. You can only win by jumping off and escaping the box.

But what if the box if everything you have known? What if your identity is tied up in the box? All the more reason that you should escape it. Because while the box might currently be your world, it also limits you from growing.

So while it is you against the world, it’s actually you against you. Defeat the box because while it’s comfortable, it’s trapping you.
