You, as the chosen one, will have to save the world from "the bad guys". Would you succeed or fail? Or join the dark side? Would you try so hard that you become corrupted by evil?

My answer: I'd fail and the universe is fucked because I'm just a pile of sadness. 😓

We are literally all the chosen one. The Matrix wasn’t there to teach us that Neo was The One. It was to teach us that anyone could be.

The only way to see change in your world is to act on it. Maybe you can’t fix politics, but you can help loved ones. You can plant trees. You can donate your money or time.

Even if there are others out there who have more resources to do more and aren’t doesn’t mean you can’t make yourself feel better by making the small contributions.

And even if you tell yourself that you’re just doing those things to make yourself feel better and they don’t right away, the important thing is your action. That’s all anyone else can see.

Indeed, we are all doing our part—by avoiding Reddit lol. *Keeps scrolling*
