Introspection Opportunity
I don’t know about you, but I’ve discovered this whole situation is actually an amazing opportunity. I’ve had the time and space to get into some really deep introspection. I’ve called myself out on my shit, and I’ve really thought about what kind of person I want to be. I’ve thought about the the state of the world, with everything going on in American politics, with world politics, with the media, and with how the average person thinks about all these things.
It’s been cathartic in many ways. Perhaps this is the biggest lesson from the entire pandemic. It’s given us a chance to re-evaluate how we view the world, how we view ourselves, and what we want out of this thing we call life. Man, there have been some strong epiphanies over the past couple months.
On a personal level, it’s given me time to reflect on my life. What kind of person do I want to be? What do I believe in, what do I stand for? What am I scared of? Who is in my life? What’s most important to me? How do I want to live? It’s all surreal.
On a global level, on the environmental level of this planet, I’ve realized that we can do this as a species. That we have done it before, many many times. That we’re going to be all right. It’s a catch-22, because it’s going to take active participation from everyone around the globe. It’s going to take everything we’ve got. But it’s also achievable. It can happen, and I genuinely believe it will happen. We’re here right now. What do we want? What do we want?
What do we want? We can seize it.
