Live Conversations With Self From Alternative Universe

After having lived across various countries around the globe for a dozen years - I felt a calling to return home.

It’s as if everywhere I looked there were a bunch of try hards trying to be perceived as a “somebody.”

Every guy trying to appear like Dan Bilzerian and every girl trying to be a wannabe instagram model without being in the actual industry.

Ranging from planned photoshoots trying to get that one photo that looks the most candid.

Post it on social media to fulfill the crack like addiction many have today.

[insert a higher sense of self worth here]

Only to the mood shift like the ever-changing tides.

Whenever I notice the vast majority doing one thing, I tend to proactively do the exact opposite.

For reasons beyond my logical explanation - it just feels like the right thing to do.

With the next generation trying to build a “personal brand” by having a videographer follow them around… instead of the spontaneous candid shots.

It just kills the moment of authenticity.

Everybody feels it, but nobody likes to acknowledge it because after all they get that chance of winning that 10 seconds of fame.

Being in my teens I despised the NPC life so much, but after such a crazy adventure… I find a strange sense of peace being back home.

It allows me to step out of the hamster wheel of trying to plan the next trip and soak up my surroundings even more.

I’ve met people my age who have chosen the path I was suppose to be on.

Everyone has a established career, started a family, own a home and all the things we’ve been told to have growing up.

And yet many of them shown very settle nuances that express their envy for my life experience and trajectory.

During our conversations, I cannot help but feel as if I am speaking to myself from an alternative universe.

Evidence shows that I have clearly made the right choice.

Taking those big risks, at an early age, where you can actually do it is a vital point that will truly change the trajectory of your life.

Now being in a phase where I establish the NPC roots of my life - I’ve never felt more than ready while simultaneously have a much deeper appreciation for my life set up and have the freedom to return to it whenever the desire arises again.

There is tremendous peace found in the NPC life after having lived the Instagram life without actually having a desperate need for random’s attention to feel a sense of importance.

No regrets while being able to appreciate the simplicities of life.

This truly is the sweet spot found in the transition period of the seasons of your life.

See ya on the mats,
