I had a few replies over the last few emails, especially the last one with the audio and where I just asked how everyone is.
Like some internet vibe check or whatever you want to call it.
Surprisingly. Everyone’s a little tired.
Tired of the uncertainty with all of these grifters peddling A.I.
Tired with all of the divides with politics and wars.
I mean we all know the world is absolutely upside down right now and it almost looks like nothing is going to go back to “normal”
1 humble disciple of yours truly asked me about what I do when it comes to turning off the noise and all that jazz.
And honestly. I really don’t do anything special. I don’t meditate. I don’t do any of these introversion type of spirit animal focus.
All I do. Which is very boring on the front is write.
I sit down and put words on paper. It’s one way I find to just get out all of the crap. The stresses and potential ideas.
Funny thing is though because we’re in an always on society. We’re looking for things online to better our lives. To take us to a place or nirvana where we can be free and all of that.
And when we are looking online on social media and all other platforms, we get lied to.
We compare our chapter one to the others and their chapter 72.
So we spiral and feel deflated on all fronts.
But when you sit alone with no distractions and write. Whether it’s pen on paper (Preferable) or you’ve got a word doc with all your notifications/phone turned off. That’s where you can do some serious soul searching for lack of a better phrase.
And as cliche as I know that answer is. It works like magic. I’ve even said in past emails that writing is the closet thing we have when it comes to magic and manifestation.
The downside is. It takes a fudge load of work. Like having those hard conversations with the gf/bf or husband/wife etc.
It also doesn’t happen over night. It takes weeks/months/years to slowly find out who you are. It’s no TikTok over night fucker-y.
And so it is in the mind of how I figure these things out. One sentence at a time.
Whether I’m selling something with words, or entertaining my fellow nerds. It starts with a page and some thinking.
Appreciate everyone who listened/replied to the last voice tape email. I guess I’m not too bad eh?
