the man who loves walking will always go further than the man who only loves the destination. you’ll never be free until you realize this. it was never about the destination. it was about the person you become while chasing it. the ones who fall in love with the process are the only ones who survive the pain, the boredom, the uncertainty.
we spend most of our lives trapped inside other people’s expectations. making decisions based on approval, but the more we live for their validation, the further we drift from ourselves. i think somewhere along the way, we stopped listening to our own inner voice and started trusting fear, opinions, and comfort more than our own instincts. but the truth is, life was never meant to be walked that way. we are meant to enjoy the process.
the universe gave you a compass, not in your pocket but in your chest. and it’s there for a reason. sometimes the hardest but most important thing you can do is trust that feeling, keep walking, and learn to love the process instead of obsessing over the destination.
“it is good to have an end to journey toward but it is the journey that matters, in the end.”
popular fan theory: ditto is actually a failed clone of mew.
scientists at the cinnabar mansion were experimenting to create mewtwo and all the failed attempts ended up becoming ditto.
both mew and ditto are the only gen 1 pokemon that learn transform naturally, they have the exact same weight (8.8 lbs), both are pink with blue shinies, ditto can breed with almost anything because it has mew-like dna, and you can only find wild dittos in the pokemon mansion and cerulean cave where mewtwo stuff happened. plus the mansion logs call mewtwo the “only successful clone.”
this is one of the oldest and most popular pokemon theories ever, but game freak has never officially confirmed or denied it.
"A person who thinks all the time has nothing to think about except thoughts. So he loses touch with reality, and lives in a world of illusion." - Alan Watts
This quote became a meme. But it's the only real way out of an overthinking rut.
F*ck the balance sometimes. F*ck the perfect discipline.
Go do something unexpected. Take a car to a random part of an island and figure it out when you get there. Start the business everyone says will fail. Stay up until 4am building something just because the idea won't leave you alone. Have awkward social interactions. Just do things without over-analyzing how you did it.
You cannot think your way out of being stuck in your head. You can only 'do' your way out.
The only real measure of intelligence is your ability to manage your own stress. Every day you have a choice to suffer or not, and the way you silence that suffering isn't more thinking. It's doing.
Find beauty in the mundane. Stop talking about your problems and stop replaying them in your head, because all that does is make them bigger.
Zoom out. Have a vision big enough that today's stress feels small.
And accept the fact that maybe things are actually going well. Your life is probably in a far better position than the version of it living in your head.
Chris Camillo explains why Pokémon cards might keep going up for decades
“I’ve always believed that Pokémon and an IP similar to Pokémon for a collector is where it’s at”
“Unlike other collectibles, it’s not set in a period of time where you have a peak where the people that were really into that baseball player or football player hit peak wealth and drive the market up and then the next generation has less of an appreciation for that player, like with sports cards”
“I think Pokémon’s fascinating because they reinvent themselves for each generation. So it’s one of these really rare collectibles that has cross-generational demand”
“You can make a case that the Pokémon market could stay healthy and continue to drive forward for a very long time”
“I’m not saying it will but there’s certainly a thesis there that has data to back that up”
“So the Pokémon collectors might not be as crazy as you think they are”
