You spend so much energy worrying about what others think of you & where you ‘fit in’.
In reality, what matters is how you look inward & being grounded in your own purpose.
Being yourself doesn’t require the approval of an audience or followers.
That acceptance you seek is within you.

I was asked about Project Genie and wrote the response kind of tired so if you want to hear my unfiltered and slightly less-than-diplomatic answer about AI it's here
We asked game developers to share their thoughts on Google's Project Genie, a "world builder" powered by generative AI.
"Even the deeply misguided notion that this could somehow replace humans in the game development process is dangerous to the continuation of the artform," said @ramiismail.com

Game Developers Respond to Google's Project Genie: "A Deeply Unpleasant and Messy Abomination"
This Week in Videogames spoke to game developers about Google's generative-AI world builder, about how it might affect the future of game development.

People tell you to ‘embrace change’, but that’s easier said than done.
A routine that brings comfort & predictability makes life simpler in a difficult world.
But growth often requires doing something different.
Take your time with small changes & build resilience on your own terms.

When you choose a path of understanding & kindness, you’re starving the bitterness that eats away the peace in your heart.
This benevolence spreads to others & becomes a catalyst for positive change.

It’s impossible to truly feel someone else’s pain, but you can acknowledge that everyone experiences suffering.
People process anguish & adversity in their own way & at their own pace.
Allow others to heal with dignity.
Sometimes all that’s needed is gentle compassion & safe spaces to breathe.

Pretending everything is fine can leave you feeling mentally exhausted.
Being present when your heart feels a bit absent is difficult.
These are the moments when taking care of yourself is more important than pleasing others.
You are so worthy of self-care.
Take your time.

Sometimes you’ll feel doubt & sadness sneaking in from the echoes of emotional wounds.
Keep in mind that this pain is not a flaw.
It’s normal to reflect & process.
It’s ok to cry.
Breathe in with acceptance & honor your struggle as a foundation of your growth.
No mud, no lotus.

Practice the art of listening with empathy & patience.
Suppress your urge to interrupt & cultivate the skill of understanding.
At that moment, you are being present for others by setting aside the burden of yourself.
Remember, we all truly need each other now more than ever.

It’s been a minute.
Let’s not ask each other how we’re doing; we both know things are tough right now.
But, I’d like for you to take some deep breaths with me, wherever you may be.
Allow your emotions to rise & fall gently, as we calm our minds for just a moment together.

There’s a flame of determination that keeps you going, even on the days you want to hide from the world.
If this is one of those days that leaves you breathless trying to keep the fire inside you glowing, please know you are not alone.
I am so glad you’re here.

I’m close to finishing up Ghost of Yotei.
I actually took a pause from it & played other games because it breaks my heart to leave this beautiful game.
It’s been an emotional journey traveling with Atsu. Ghost of Yotei has been medicine & meditation for my world weary soul.

A world in conflict can sometimes make you feel so frustrated, powerless & small.
But you are mighty.
Your feelings matter, your words are important & you are always enough.
No matter what happens in the world, remember you are not alone.
