about

When is enough, enough?

How many goddamn metrics are we supposed to have in our lives to grow happiness, contentment and purpose?

Track your calories. Track your productivity. Track your sleep. Don't listen to your body....have a stupid watch tell you when you are allowed to exercise.

Upload your data, and have someone else determine whether you are living "your best life". Which is piece of crap saying, by the way....

We are not perfect beings, and yet we are being sold that we can hack and improve every single aspect of our lives. Every single thing must reach its zenith. To do otherwise would be a sin....a sign that you are indeed that lazy a-hole you have suspected you are.

"Who doesn't want a better life?" they ask....Sounds awfully familiar to "Who doesn't want to ensure they go to heaven after death?". At least to me it does...

We are being sold bullshit. You are not an equation.

When will this nonsense stop? And, if it ever does, will you ever be enough for yourself? Or will that next juice cleanse be the final piece of the puzzle. Perhaps if you buy that overpriced, overhyped mattress you'll get back in your own good graces.

People say that, "life is a journey", and whilst I do not disagree, I also believe that every moment of your life is THE destination. In my mind, viewing it any other way means that you are waiting for some eventuality before life means something. It (Life) means everything right now. Everything has led to this point....

Don't fall for this horseshit. Get yourself out of their sight and live the life you truly want.

Listen to your own mind, body and soul. Somebody with an algorithm will never know the true you...
