YOU ARE THE MAIN F*CKING CHARACTER

The patriots at @valaratomics are making liberals cry and you’re black pilling?





People identify with a role because the mind needs a fast, solid answer to one question: who am I? And that question is terrifying if you actually sit with it, because the genuine answer is that you don't really know. You don't know who you truly are. So most people never sit with it for long. Because if you did go all the way to the bottom of it, every label and made-up identity you've been carrying would start to fall away, and that feels like death. The death of the self you think you are. And nothing scares a person more than that. So, what usually happens is that you reach the edge of it, the point where you don't know who you are anymore, and instead of going through, you freeze there in total fear. You've lost yourself. You start questioning everything, and it brings this massive wave of anxiety. And you can't sit in that, so you do the only thing that makes it stop. You grab another identity. Another label to hold onto so you don't have to feel it. And that's the paradox. Every time you grab a new identity to escape the fear, you never make it to the other side. You never reach the point where you actually find out who you are. And what you'd find there is the part nobody tells you. What you truly are is something far bigger and more powerful than any label could ever hold.


Your identity must die. Kill the idea of being able to fit yourself into a box or a general niche. Gym guy, Biz shark, Health bro, Social dude, Spiritual student. Fastest way to live a shallow life of limited experience. Life is more fun when you can go wide and deep. The mixture of going wide and deep is where you can discover your uniqueness as a human. Go as deep as YOU WANT into everything YOU find interesting. You’ll know what it is by what makes you inspired and excited. Go find out what you are. Life.
