Transcript

I've just heard the most genius thing better, the LARP paradox. The more you LARP, the less you LARP. That was literally the smartest way to fucking put it because it's so true. There's no way to get to the vision of where you wanna be without LARPing, like, the next version of yourself that you wanna be. The fastest way to reach your goals is to identity shift. You need to believe you are who you wanna be before you even get tier, which is why I never had a fucking problem with LARPing. Rank the only people good hate on LARPing are the people that are too scared to invest in themselves rank actually larp in the beginning because they don't even believe in themselves enough to know that that larping will pay off.
