Aggregate change happens faster and faster these days but committing to personal change is the hardest. Depression leads to introspection which leads to processing but change... man, change is the hardest. Everyone pays lip service to it but the fundamentals to change are complex, and if you're older, with established responsibilities, recombobulating yourself and moving to the next level... man, that's heavy. Therapy helps, support group helps, destroying your ego helps, but sometimes these are all very privileged. Sometimes you don't get the benefit of affording therapy, finding support, or get the time to learn humility. And you're doing this in the midst of aggregate change happening around you, beholden to trends and action from others around you, and still needing to sleep on a bed, eat solid food, exercise, and maintain your sanity. Sometimes when people ask me what luck is, I explain it as such. Luck is when all those things align in a way to assist you on your way. Most people end up getting lost in the fray, a lot of the people I met during the web 2.0 cycle disappeared. And it's likely the new people I meet in the upcoming cycle will end up disappearing too. Who will remember the stories when the actors are gone? In the end you just gotta keep pushing, keep swimming, keep going. Either you'll get it, or you won't, accepting is salvation.
