It's hard when substances that dull our pain start to be associated with "feeling better". I wish there were more positive words I could give this person, but my truth is that the world, and by extension the universe, is beautiful because it exists with no regard for us. We're just another wonderful output of the universe, not its leader or companion. 

The only succor for this condition of existence is that nothing is predictable and everything is subject to change. That includes us, our goals, and the actions we take every day. Maybe where this author is needs to change. 

Great work @stellabelle, you're killing my work productivity as usual ;)

"We're just another wonderful output of the universe, not its leader or companion." Damn, this was good. Are you a philosopher? I had never thought of it that way, but I had suspected it. I agree with you of course. Humans are attached to timelines because of our birth/death linear life, but the universe doesn't work like that. Best to be like water, in constant flux, thereby becoming more align with natural processes and less attached to outcomes.

thank you for that very nice compliment. I read, write and think. A lot. I've also experienced a lot of extreme adversity and have tried to embrace the lessons and wisdom that can be derived from such trials. 
If we could only realize that we're mostly water already, we'd see that we actively have that alignment in us. But I think people expect positive outcomes with this line of thought instead of reaching for the peace it can provide us in our own personal storms of existence.

Jesus, you need to write a book. Seriously. Have you already?
Hmm.... I have to admit, I'm a little intrigued, as I have a sweet spot for talk like that.
And now I am naturally curious about the trials of which you speak. Are you at work right now?
NYC?

@prufarchy and @stellabelle , Bruce Lee's last sentence in his short manifesto called "Be Like Water" he said " I must first accept myself by going with and not against my nature.” I believe he meant that we are naturally like water already by our natural inclinations but I believe we have a hard time tapping into  our true natures because of socialization.

Seems like the only work I've ever had a passion for has been listening to others and discussing existence. So naturally, I work in digital advertising operations :/ ... Stupid student debt

Oh, you sound like me. I love thinking and talking about existence, too. It appears you are in need of something as your use of the word, "Stupid student debt" indicates to me that you feel you must do work that is beneath you in order to pay off your debts. 
What does Black Swan mean to you personally? Can you identify with a Black Swan or does the concept feel out of your reach? I am curious about your answer.
