You aren't special.

You're nothing more than the dog shit stuck to the bottom of your shoe.

You could die any minute from now.
Meteor strike, heart attack, you name it.

Rest assured that your life will eventually come to an end.

I know that concept doesn't sit well with you.

You think there's inherent meanings in things.
That life has some ultimate destination.

Yet you know that the universe is 13.8 billion years old and ever-expanding.
You also know that you live on a planet that's rotating on its axis at close to 1,000 miles an hour and orbiting a giant ball working on nuclear fusion principles at around 60,000 miles an hour that's circling the milky way at a further 800,000 miles an hour that's moving around the universe at an even greater ~3,000,000 miles an hour.

You're CULTurally deluded.

You don't need to seek anyone's approval.

You were not the same person you were 7 years ago.

Your memories are all you have.

All the pleasure you've ever experienced was a negation of discomforts.

You are aware of roughly 50,000 interactions that you've had in your lifetime.
75% on average of which are built out of negative experiences.
Which equates to post-traumatic stress disorder.

Everything that happened in your life is just a story.
![[Image: open_book.jpg]](https://images.weserv.nl/?url=www.pivotalbookclub.com%2Fopen_book.jpg)
There is no past.
![[Image: Time.jpg]](https://images.weserv.nl/?url=i79.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fj140%2Fsonic-alchemist%2FTime.jpg)
There is no future.

Just the ever-present now.
Everything is constantly changing.
Nothing is permanent.

There is no afterlife.

There is no god.

There is no utopia.

Don't fear.
![[Image: 304212_10150946863180001_581205000_20728...5134_n.jpg]](https://images.weserv.nl/?url=a2.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net%2Fhphotos-ak-ash4%2F304212_10150946863180001_581205000_20728049_8195134_n.jpg)
It's time to step into the realm of reality.

YOU WERE A MISTAKE.

It's a game of Tic-Tac-Toe.
And you've already lost.
No matter how big you brain is,

You can't solve the problems.
You can try dressing the pig up.

Strap some wings on it.

Give it a coat of lipstick.
![[Image: organic-lipstick.jpg]](https://images.weserv.nl/?url=smartgirlconsulting.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2011%2F06%2Forganic-lipstick.jpg)
But it still won't fly.

Or be fuckable.
![[Image: pig-lipstick.jpg]](https://images.weserv.nl/?url=www.point-spreads.com%2Fimages%2Fstories%2Fpig-lipstick.jpg)
Because the reality is.
