Trust Your Fucking Instincts!

For years, I chased things. Money, prestige, a fancy and respected job title. I was chasing other people to get ahead of them and be more “successful”. I fell in line with what others chased. I was in this big race to get ahead of everyone else no matter what.

And it led me down a path to nowhere.

Because no matter what I get or where I finish in the race, it means nothing. The prize is still death whether I’m leading or I’m in last. That’s how it ends. You don’t get a do-over, you don’t get to rewind parts you regret. It’s a one-shot deal.

The problem was the entrance fee for this race was expensive. Because it cost me my happiness. This chase I was on led me down a path of being miserable with my life and myself. And all I could do was look forward to that death which was inevitable.
