in a world of mercenaries, be a missionary - Jay Alto

the optimisation era is over. 2020-2026. sure, you can still buy the eight sleep, drink the ag1, wear the whoop, take the creatine, but don't be a slave to them. stay up late. have a cigarette. eat the dessert. your body is more resilient than you think if your mind will let it.

the loneliest people are never alone. they're in endless group chats, double booked every weekend, know everyone at the party, yet still feel like the only person on earth. surrounded by people who know the mask but have never met the person underneath.

go listen to your favourite podcaster’s first episode, read your favourite writer’s first essay, watch your favourite youtuber’s first video. you’ll soon realise everybody sucks at the start.
