Underneath It All

You don’t have to play the game.

You don’t have to play a character.

You don’t have to live up to other people’s expectations.

You don’t have to say the thing you think will get you accepted.

You don’t have to shape your life around how you’re perceived.

You have ambitions. Dreams.
Things you want to do before you die.

So do I.

And maybe you believe that in order to make those things happen, you have to do all the stuff above.

To “win the game.”

But I think you can “win the game” right now.
And still chase your dreams.
Still go after everything you want before you die.

And it’s simple…

You just choose not to play the game.

Drop the persona.

Drop the weight of expectations.

Drop the mask.

Free yourself from the pressure you’ve been carrying.

It’s time to come home.

Bare,
Ethan
