Nothing makes change seem more impossible than the lifetime of momentum you built up heading the opposite direction.

What is one day to a lifetime?
What is one drop to an ocean?

Your life has become a bullet train speeding to hell at 450km/hr.

You've spent your entire life making these tracks as efficient as possible.

3
And now you want off.

4
You could jump off the train... but. No it's travelling much too fast.

5
You could try to slow the train down... but.... No there's just no way.

It's impossible.

6
So you carry on living.
"We're all going to die anyway right?"
"Bullet train life ain't so bad..."

How did it come to this?

You think back to every improvement that you made to the train. Every late night researching at your desk. Every turn of the wrench. All the employees you trained.

All of it was for you. It was all done according to your own desires.

8
You hate it here. This is a nightmare. This can't be happening.

Truth be told I don't know how I got off the train. Maybe it was just luck.

However I did it, I'm left with one lingering thought.
“Don’t make me go back there.” https://twitter.com/SeanMombo/status/1258060815363641344?s=20

everyone is on their own train, zooming to their own destinations. https://twitter.com/SeanMombo/status/1303134737171705862?s=20
This thread explained my struggles with addiction + cognitive dissonance REALLY WELL. https://twitter.com/SeanMombo/status/1250981835192098816?s=20
Change happens one day at a time. One hour. One minute. One moment.

You can stop the train.
