I'm currently at this juncture and trying to decide whether to go back to school and start entirely fresh or to hold out for another year or two to see how things go. The anxiety of what the future may or may not hold is real and I'm just standing here, watching the distances shorten faster and faster while still not knowing.

What's your take, Beeple?

I was, multiple times. I always decided for the path I can justify the easiest to myself. Almost always, the lazy way was the one I didn't choose. I know I'll be still me in 10, 20, 50 years and I really don't want to look back to a time when I was younger but didn't do what'd give me the best position at older age. Yes, this even included not trying to find a girlfriend because I rather spend that time learning, self reflecting and pursuing a career. And I personally believe this was always the best decision. A lot of decisions can be made really easy if you look up stoicism and meditate about what truly is in your hand and what is totally chance of luck.

Thanks people still got what I mean, even with my really bad English at parts. Sometimes my brain just doesn't want to translate it properly.
