Soul x Status
You better lose yourself in the music. The moment you want it you better never let it go. You only get one shot do not miss your chance to blow. This opportunity comes once in a lifetime.
Do not optimize for status. Optimize for belonging. Status measures where you stand; belonging determines whether you can be yourself. Some systems require constant performance to maintain access. The cost of conforming to them compounds over time. Find people who accept your morals, your mind, and your soul without requiring you to rewrite yourself. Keep looking until you find your people—do not settle for empty closets. Find your people and enjoy them. Titles don’t matter. Optimize for soul. Optimize for laughter. If you feel like you’re embarrassing yourself, you’re doing it write. Keep going. If you feel like you’re shameless. Perfect. Keep at it kid.
