Montaigne lived in a castle with a graveyard view
Montaigne lived in a castle with a graveyard view.
One of the greatest writers of all time used death as his muse.
This enabled him to sit down on his ass to do what was important: writing
I don’t have a castle, but I have something more powerful that you also have.

Chapter 1: CASTLE INSIDE
—— • ———
People in their 20s on X are chasing wisdom, business and money.
I was chasing drugs between 20-27.
Not as 9-5, though. Bc I always had a 9-5 after 22.
But, I spent a great amount time being lost.
I had very good friends with bad habits and a twisted sense of fun.
I did almost every drug. Both soft and hard.
One of my friends almost died in front of me. And I thought I was dying a couple of times.
At least, I was lucky to experience life-changing awareness with psychedelics.
But I witnessed others who literally lost their minds. So I won’t recommend.
As a result, I lost thousands of days and brain cells.
I’m nowhere near as rich as Montaigne.
But I have a fucking graveyard of lost moments inside my brain.
In a sense, I have a castle with a graveyard view.
I’m sure you have lost moments too.
So you have your own castle and graveyard view.
Well, while we are at it.
Let’s talk about death too.
What a fucking mood this long form has.
💫 POSITIVE VIBES UP 💫

Chapter 2: GRIM REAPER IS AWESOME
—— • ———
Death is good.
If death wasn’t there, you would treat your time as I treated my 20s.
Death makes everything precious.
It makes you grateful because you spent one more day with your gf, fam, friends or your cat.
The fact you’re going to die, makes everything more vivid.
Death makes me write 2 hours every morning.
I’m 33, I don’t have time to fuck around anymore.
And don’t get me wrong. If you’re younger, you always have time to fuck around and find out.
But always remember you have a limited amount of time to fuck around.
So fuck around responsibly.
And think about this, lucky mfer:
Every day is a limited edition, designed for you.
So make the most out of it.
Make sure that it counts.
So here is my structured advice for you
• Find your graveyard
• Find inspiration in death
• Understand that time > everything else
• Sit your ass down to do what is important for you
• Pressure makes diamonds
Plus, life is much more rewarding when you realize your potential.
Look at Montaigne mfer.
He is my favorite writer.
No grim reaper can kill him.
Cheers,
P.S. Montaigne, your next-door graveyard made you a legend. You’re nothing without death.
