Learn how to be Responsible
No one is coming to save you. This life is 100% your responsibility.
Your friends, family members, and colleagues aren’t coming to save you. I think they’ve done that often enough – don’t you think so? Or maybe they’ve never at all – which is sometimes true, for one reason or the other. Either way, they aren’t coming to save you now. News flash! You’re all grown now. Maybe not grown up in the real sense of it, but the fact remains you’re grown enough, just enough. You have to remember that they’ve got their stuff to take care of as well.
Your best friend or lover isn’t coming to save you. They will always love you, but they are stuck in the same shit you’re in right now. Health. Staying sane. Love. Work. You know, the usual – right? On a side note, you should check in with them sometime. However, you shouldn’t expect them to save you.
Sorry if this sounds cold. The truth has to be said anyway, so you’re better of hearing it from me. Your colleagues or boss is also not coming to save you behind. Right now, your boss is trying to stay sane, or at least cover her ass too. She’s scared she might get fired or worried that her business might crash. So, she’s fighting to keep you and your teammate together. In short, these guys (family, friends, your colleagues, and your boss) are worried about you, but they have no time to save you. So, you need to understand that some things are just beyond our control.
Nobody is out to get you.
No sinister villain or dark force is working to make your life a living hell. Even though this may be hard for you to swallow – soon enough, you’ll realize that you’re not just important. It is easy to imagine that you have critical importance and will face essential opposition, but that’s just a myopic view of things. The truth is – while you are the most crucial person in your world – you barely register in the broader scope of the world.
Probably 95% of human beings you come across on the street receive zero attention. And of the 5% you do notice, you only see a single feature (“He’s fine,” “Nice smile,” “Cool shoes.”), and they are forgotten when they leave your line of sight. You are not a victim; you are not a target, and you are not being singled out for cruelty.
No one is coming to save you.
You are just a person. Your interests are all fairly commonplace, your talents are borderline commodities, and your opinions are the mutant of the opinions of mentors and authors you’ve paid attention to throughout your existence. The only remarkable thing about you is the precise arrangement of your interests, actions, opinions, and talents. So, it’s safe to say that you don’t need saving; you and I aren’t vital to the future of our planet. Nobody’s going to rescue you from your life – so, take charge of it, now.
