The Past Tense Paradox

Achievements are inherently never in the present tense.
Even if you are in the process of achieving something,
it only becomes the achievement upon completion.
In the grand scheme of things,
no one gives a damn about what you’re doing
until you’ve done it.
People are so entwined in the microcosms and the confines of their own lives,
they have their own woes to about which to worry.
So once you realize no one gives a damn about what you do
as much as you genuinely do,
you stop doing it for them
and start doing it for you.
