What Would Nietzsche Do? Coping with Reality (Badly)
Dear Nietzsche, I keep buying planners, habit trackers, and “rise and grind” journals in the hope of coping with reality, but I still procrastinate. Am I broken?
Dear Time-Management Marionette,
You are not broken, you are awake. Procrastination is the final stand of the soul against the tyranny of motivational stationery. Throw away your pastel-colored calendars and pursue something worth delaying.
Dear Nietzsche, I meditate, chant, manifest, micro-dose, and moon-charge crystals. Why do I still feel empty?
Dear Metaphysical Mall Walker,
Because you are building an identity from the clearance shelf of metaphysics. The void cannot be bribed with scented candles. Sit in darkness without accessories.
Dear Nietzsche, I say “sorry” constantly â even to chairs I bump into. How do I stop?
Dear Contrition Vending Machine,
You are apologizing for your existence. Stop immediately. The next time you collide with furniture, blame it for lacking situational awareness.
