It's been a year since that amazing and infamous day when "The Plan" seemed like it was falling apart (or at least the common understanding of it). We were supposed to be saved by the military, and all the evil bastards arrested, bringing in a new golden age.

That didn't happen. Instead we learned that We The People are The Plan. We are our saviors. We will bring in a new Golden Age. We have learned to be critical of everything, even our own beliefs. From this enlightened position we can build, and are building a... dare I say it...

A New World Order.

LOL

Whatever you want to call it. It falls to us to build it, and building it we are.

I see all the signs of a guiding hand, leading us towards both our own empowerment, but also a precipice. At this precipice we, an awakened We The People will become en masse fully cognizant of The Matrix that has guided our actions and beliefs, and restricted our potential for millennia (especially the past century). At this precipice point I believe we won't need guns or bombs or F15s or nukes to end the madness of the Age Of Demons. We will simply Stop Playing The Game.

The point of this post wasn't to make a grand statement of our future, but to comment on this year. For the past couple decades of my life, working in corporations, academia, etc. every year has felt like a week. On every important day I think to myself, "Has it been a year already???" The time in between the moments of that life I remember were as nothing. They were wasted moments spent doing meaningless things for evil people who were using me to create their Machine.

Now, I can't believe it's only been one year. It feels like I've lived those lost two decades in a year.

Time flies when you're having fun, or doing completely meaningless shit for all the wrong reasons. But apparently when you're trying to save the world time stands still.

I have lived more in the past year than in all the years before. I understand that my life is precious now, and they can't have another second of it. I will work towards bringing their evil to an end, not because of them, but because it is rewarding work (even though the pay is shite, but money is a farce anyways, so who gives a shit).

I am doing what I'm doing not for me. I'm already free. I am doing this because everyone deserves to understand that their life is precious, and that they can choose to throw off their chains of slavery.

Everyone deserves to have their years be full of life instead of a forgotten moment of "waiting to die."

A wrinkle in a shirt can be thought of as two parts. It can be thought of as two otherwise separate parts of cloth touching each other. But it's also a larger part sticking out, the "in between" those two touching parts. Similarly, A Wrinkle In Time is two parts. It is a decades long life that feels like a forgotten snippet (the beginning and the end of a time period touching each other, where you just skip over the middle). But it's also the in between; a day that lasts a year; a year that feels like a century, a moment that lasts forever.

I have spent a century of being truly free in this past year. No matter what comes next, ThanQ for showing me the value of my life.
