    I mean, it really it is you reach out and take initiative. It’s never like this if you sit around waiting for this kind of thing to happen, you will be perpetually disappointed in others.

    But like our fictional hero, I can at least attest from my own long life, that if you seek out the kind of experiences and people you wish you had in your life, you will find them. But if you roll your eyes at the notion, if you are apathetic and are discouraged because you had one or several bad experiences, or if you’re discouraged because you read about someone else’s bad experience, or if some youtuber told you how bad things are, you will live in that world and that world only as long as you live.
