So by default, we are the main character in our own storyline but the author invites us to be the author of our narrative instead so we can have agency on how to choose to lead our lives

People aren’t taught to think for a reason. I think one of the most important things a person could do for themselves is start questioning and analyzing themselves and the world around them. Why do I do what I do, why do I believe what I believe, why do I feel a certain way about something, why do others act the way they do considering they are human in exactly the same way I am, what do I actually think is right and wrong apart from what I’ve been told, what do I truly want and care about, do I actually like what I’m doing, are my actions are hurting others, are my actions are hurting myself. Trying to figure out how life works and how you want to live it yourself is a difficult but extremely rewarding way of living that I think pretty much everyone would benefit from.
