doing it wrong

The hardest thing about doing things isn't doing them. It's doing them different. Anyone can work at the toothpaste factory, screw caps on toothpaste tubes and dream of a day just like today except you didn't waste it like you did today. Getting up and walking out of the toothpaste factory and never coming back means admitting you've been doing it wrong, the number one thing being thinking you can afford to stop thinking every day, all day. Maybe you dreamed about screwing caps on toothpaste better than anyone ever did ever. And maybe nobody ever told you that's a stupid dream and a waste of your one life on this rock. And you probably figured that out but now your pride's involved, now it's not about screwing caps on toothpaste better than anyone ever did, now it's about proving to yourself and the world that it was a good idea in the first place. Or maybe you're just lazy, not too lazy to sweat and toil for the next 40 years screwing caps on toothpaste but too lazy to go through the trouble of getting a better dream. The big worry isn’t that you make gigantic mistakes. It’s that you’re so far off the mark that you can’t even see it.
