I like and appreciate this sharing, Blake. I resonate and have been learning about, exploring and growing in similar lesson over the past several years. It’s a journey :-)
These lines stuck out to me:
Because maybe the goal isn’t to live at full brightness.
Maybe it’s to stay charged enough to love the people right in front of us, especially the ones who remind us when our battery’s dying.
You highlight a challenge a lot of us deal with in this society. Quieting the mind is no small thing—thanks for your post. I came across something the other day that really connects with what you wrote and feels like something we should all stay aware of.
From the book Co-intelligence ..
Earlier this year, someone started a viral trend of asking ChatGPT this question: If you were the devil, how would you destroy the next generation, without them even knowing it?
Chat’s responses were profound and unsettling: “I wouldn’t come with violence. I’d come with convenience.” “I’d keep them busy. Always distracted.”
“I’d watch their minds rot slowly, sweetly, silently. And the best part is, they’d never know it was me. They’d call it freedom.”
really good read. i love reading the raw honest thoughts of a outwardly very successful person (i love tom’s going up). i just wrote something with a similar idea - https://substack.com/@freckledfish/note/p-187602952?r=5y1mft&utm_medium=ios&utm_source=notes-share-action
