So you know how there are about a million things that you could be doing at any one time because in addition to freeing pandas, trying to become a fire-baller-ani-sci-presi-bus-amagician-avior, and generally being special, you could also be ice fishing, rock polishing, or meeting people a lot cooler than you? And every second that you aren’t doing these things is another second you will never get back and another moment where all of the magical opportunities available to you are squandered?

Um. Whatever.  So you’re losing out on doing everything awesome all the time. It’s cool because in exchange you’re spending time being miserable by yourself. Best decision ever. But actually, why the fuck not? There’s always going to be some new shit happening here or there and everyone is going to be running around figuring out something to do or something to buy or something to have sex with. Maybe even all three at once. If you don’t want to deal with that shit, then fucking don’t.

It’s not a crime to be satisfied without taking advantage of every damn opportunity. Fuck, being unambitious can often mean that you’re not a complete asshole to people. So what if other people are always getting on your case about rainbows that you could be chasing? If they want to, they can go do that while you chill out on the couch. It’s one thing if you want to go running around doing all the shit, but if you don’t, then fuck all that. Tell people giving you shit that you want to take a time out and do your own thing.

If there’s an opportunity now, there will be some rando one later, and even if it’s not the same, or it’s somehow not as sparkly, you will still be able to find one and do it at a time when you fucking want to. Better yet, after you’ve figured out your depression so that taking advantage of those opportunties actually means something to you and doesn’t just feel like a huge pile of dread-inducing responsibility and glitter.

It’s one thing to need to feed and clothe yourself, and it’s another to need to always be doing shit and becoming the best at everything. It should be fucking okay to just live life doing some stuff you like, some stuff you don’t, and earning or farming enough to keep you alive. If you’re spending all your time being overwhelmed by all the opportunities that you’re missing out on, then not only can you not do any of those things, you also aren’t coping with the basic, boring, but somewhat important responsibilities that are already demanding your attention. You know, like eating.

So fuck finding all the opportunities that are out there just waiting for you to seize them. You’ll get to it after you’ve handled the shit that’s right in front of you. And if you do want to take advantage of opportunities, fucking go for it. And if you’ve missed like a thousand in the past, well who the fuck cares? Its not about the thousands that exist, but the ones that appeal to you and that you choose to take. If every moment there is an opportunity, then fuck let some of them go and forget about them. Seize the ones that you want to seize, and fuck all the rest.
