Sincerity is not the love language of X. That said….

You motherfuckers need to get your shit together in 2025. You need to stop being stupid and prioritize sleep. You need to move your lazy ass and exercise daily. You need to overcome your fast food addiction and eat healthy.

Your mental health problems stem from the lack of basic self care. Show yourself some respect and stop doing stupid shit that makes you age faster and feel miserable.

We have a very serious situation on our hands as a species. It is not clear that we will survive the coming years and decades. Many things threaten our existence and we’re fucking around with shit that doesn’t matter.

We are primitive and shortsighted. We need to grow the fuck up and be equal to this moment.

Start by getting your own mind and body in order. Lift weights and get jacked. Sleep well and stabilize your mood. Eat well and feel energized.

We have work to do.

Happy Holidays 🎄
