No one is watching. Put this packet in your bag. Take it home. It’s our secret. Actually, I won’t even know you took it. Seriously. It’s yours; you earned it.
Haven’t you wanted something just for you? A little escape, a new, holistic drug that will make you happier, smarter and in control…
After all, these people think they know you, but they don’t, do they? There’s this whole section of you, a vital part in fact, that nobody speaks to. You’re like a machine. You come in, get your daily dose, talk to the correct players, do the thing you do. Then you go home, just in time to do something resembling sleep, and before you can say “kaka” you’re sitting back in the weekly meeting and all you can do is scream inside your head something like this:
“This cannot be real. How the hell did I fall so far into this pit of mediocrity and who do I need to kill first to get out?”
You’re right. You are better than this. And just this once, give yourself a break. You are now staring at an open door, no chains attached. Let go. Publish me. Live
