Ideally this works most of the time, all of the time. However, it doesn't always happen that way. There are those that reach and grab the trinket on their first swipe; and then there are those that wave their hand wildly, narrowly missing the trinket, over and over again. They are stuck in the closet.
So every morning they wake up and grasp for that string and trinket only to ultimately fail destined to wake up and try again. Then one day their arm starts to get tired.... and more tired......and more tired. Then they say fuck it, I'm going to take today off and not try and grab shit (for all they are a rabbit chasing a carrot being waved in their face). They get back to reaching and still no trinket so they take another day off. Soon those days start to add up. To the point where they're trying every now and then. Eventually they stop trying all together and they live in the darkness feeling helpless, alone, frustrated, pissed off. I favor it to being thrown into the "hole" while in prison (as portrayed in the movies). The mind starts playing little tricks on them. Saying things like, "its really dark in here, there must be another way out". And then they start to agree: "There does have to be another way out". Now they're all distorted, groggy and sleep deprived, on the verge of madness. Then their mind says, "We can't go on like this man, what are we doing"? So the mind makes the suggestion: "let's end this foolishness". Now I'm going to end it right there.
If you find your self in a dark closet, do us all a favor and continue to reach for that light regardless of how many whiffs you make. You may not get it on your first try but that bulb ain't going nowhere. You can grasp that trinket and string on any given reach. Once in your grasp, give it a slight tug, bulb come on, you exit the closet into the world where everybody has been waiting for you and fuck some shit up. Real talk.
Stay up Deh
