How I'm feeling today

I watched the final episodes of the last season of succession and I could say It didn’t end the way I wanted it to, got me emotional and in deep thought and I could say that I learned quite a lot from the plot, I would like to share it with you all and why it resonates with me deeply.

Spoiler alert (Possibly)

I learned that life is short and you should cherish everyone, live everyday like it was your last, I’m not saying you should spend your savings but open your heart to the warmth of the world and open your mind to the possibilities of what could be.

I learned that all the choices you make in this life has consequences, good or bad, big or small, there’s always a consequence attached to it so make sure that you’re making the best decisions to your ability.

Put limited trust in everyone, people can switch up in an instant, gosh even family can switch up in an instant! Life is a battle ground, the sooner you know the better, everything is a game and you’re either a player or you’re a NPC(Non playable character) you are either going to fuck someone up or get fucked up, so which one are you going to do?

I could write 50 pages on how money can improve your life and help you but money would not remove that existential hole in your heart, money will never fill that spot of your divine purpose.

Get money, millions of dollars, as much as you want but never for a moment think that it will make you whole.

The thing about life is that it’s always going to be you and you at the end of the day.

You host a party, you have a great time with friends and family but when it’s all said and done, you’re going to sleep in an empty house with just you and your mind.

So you should be your best friend, not Damilola or James, you are your number 1, the sooner you make peace with yourself the better you can make peace with the world.

Do not underestimate people and the value of friendship, of connections, of relationships.

Do not look down on someone because you know more or you’re doing better or in a good position, be humble because things come as fast as they go, you either humble yourself or God humbles you and you don’t want to know which one’s worse.

Be genuine friends with people, see the good in others, believe in their goals and dreams and they will believe in yours.

If you want to have something you must first give it.

If you want to be in a good relationship with a good partner, you must first be a good partner.

If you want people to work for you, you must first work for someone.

It’s called earning your stripes.

Learn to be open to new experiences and new ideas, understand that decisions have consequences, life is a battle and you must be prepared, money is beautiful but it won’t make you whole, to be good friends with people you must first be good friends with yourself, and cultivate beautiful relationships.

I hope this resonates with you. These are my thoughts, I hope you learn something from them.
