I look at my future and feel like it’s already written and it’s not good.
CYNIC
Oh, great, another fortune teller who read their own palm and saw a bill. Your future isn't written; you're just narrating a tragedy in your head because it's easier than writing a comedy.
STOIC
The future is not a script; it is a blank page. Your fear is a shadow cast by your present thoughts. Focus on what you can control: this moment, your breath, your next step.
ABSURD
You say your future is written? Mine is a grocery list of regrets and a coupon for a free existential crisis. At least you got a plot; I'm still stuck in the prologue, arguing with a sentient lamp about the meaning of toast.
