Assumptions and expectations are your view of reality. Too bad they rarely, if ever, align. This is the only reason you are stressed.

We are in this age’s blooper reel. Too bad it isn’t funny.

Just because your expectations weren’t met doesn’t mean that thing was a failure. It just means your expectations were too high or misaligned with reality.

Politics is just disagreement. The job of politicians is to disagree. “Politician” just sounds better than “jerk”. Without disagreement/conflicdt we wouldn’t need politicians. We pay them to disagree.

Becoming a celebrity requires being more in the public eye and concentrating less on doing what you enjoy and makes your life more whole. Many get swept up in a search for celebrity without understanding and accepting the cost.

I have too many ideas, projects, things I need or want to do. Prioritizing trends more toward personal growth and fulfillment than kowtowing to the whims and politics of others. That’s one thing I’d emphasize to a younger self, just more so.

There are people who struggle to exist. There are people who want people to struggle to exist. Then there are the people who help one group or the other. Existence is apolitical.
