Hey, I was wondering if you had any Mark playthroughs that might help cheer me up? I need a distraction, and you always recommend some good videos for these things. Thanks for your help.
I gotchu!! Although I will include things that arenât games just in case you want something else. Iâm sorry youâre not feeling okay but if you ever need anything, my dms are open always.

In an alternate future where Mary Jane Watson and Peter Parker never lost their child in the Clone Saga, May âMaydayâ Parker is the Amazing Spider-Girl! The Spectacular Spider-Girl! The Astonishing Spider-Girl? Mayday is the first Spider-Girl in Marvel Comics history and her first solo is Marvelâs longest running female-led superhero solo!
Just finished reading a Paulo Coelho book. In three words, it was beautiful, poetic and life-changing. For the next few minutes, hereâs what happened: I leaned back on my bed frame, eyes closed, my lips instantly parting into a content smile. Bliss. Then, I scrambled to my desk and grabbed a pen and paper, inspiration coursing through my veins. I had a mission to conquer.
⌠And here we are now. Itâs rare to find books that give you ten times the energy you initially put into reading the book. The Alchemist, it turns out, is one of those prizes. Itâs about everything I preach on this blog *adjusts halo on head* - pursuing your destiny, having faith, never backing out, bouncing back up from failure (read here), leaving a legacy behind - and look up to in my life.
Ahem, hence, this post is a big deal. Yes, a bigger deal than food. Pat, put that taco down, I see you. Listen, huh? (Clears throat.)
That said (no Pat, donât you dare sneak in a bite), letâs talk about The Alchemist and its lessons. Get your comfort drink and a blanket, for this is a long one, bud. Stay till the end for free tacos! (But to think of it, Pat wouldâve finished them by then, so⌠stay anyway? Thanks.)
Unless youâre a believer, miracles wonât happen for you. And trust me, miracles are one thing you will want on your side when you start your journey. Having faith, yâknow, believing, is one of the common traits of the highly successful go-getters. Not trusting your capabilities, worrying you arenât worth the life you are aiming for will become your inevitable failure. Why? âCause, where your attention is, your energy flows.
Omens play a big role in deepening your faith. They are signs that youâre on the way to living your best life, an assurance that youâre on the right path. Omens can be anything - a vision you had that you could never quite forget (same), food that reminded you of something or someone (Iâve made you hungry now, oops) - ANYTHING. I know, this sounds all woo-woo to you right now but listen, when you start believing, magic happens, and the more omens you discover because the universe is now all hyped up for you. So firstly, believe. Then, youâll see the impossible happening. Donât do it the other way around.
 Omens? Theyâre like checking off items from a to-do list with the last one saying âlive my dream life and kick ass every day.â Who donât like a checked off to-do now?
Hereâs going deep. Ultimately, you know what will count? The number of people you impacted, the courage you showed in living your dream life, and the legacy you left behind. Thatâs all that counts.
My man, Shakespeare, is dead. Which⌠sounds rude when I say it. (Donât haunt me Mr. Shakespeare, letâs not turn this into a real-life Hamlet.) Why do people still read his awesome (though I donât get them) work? Leonardo da Vinci, my bro, is âdeadâ too. Why do people still flock to see the Mona Lisa? (If not, they just search up Mona Lisa memes and I feel them.) To come to my point, the greats are great because they have the courage to do something different. Youâll notice that each of these wizards created something new and authentic. They were true to themselves. Imagine what wouldâve happened if Shakespeare thought his work sucked and pushing Newton aside, started juggling apples up and down. I think itâll be safe to say that Literature and Physics would both be effed up.
You are here on an important mission too. To find your passion and pursue it. Donât waste those precious hours on shit that doesnât fill you with happiness and satisfaction. Be like Shakespeare. He didnât care that hundreds of years later, high school kids would hate him for his bewildering poems. Heâs the real boss. After all, we are still reading his poems lmao.
Or in millennial speak, your homie. From whom you steal food because you know they wouldnât mind (or maybe they would, but you donât give an eff). Yup, that friend.
The best lesson that shone from this book (itâs a shiny book) was this - your heart? It is terrified to pursue its dreams because it fears losing everything along the way. Itâs afraid of failure, of being betrayed, and, well, of heartbreak. Your heart believes this because all around, in our society, it witnesses people living meaningless lives and dying with regrets. It has gotten around to believing that this is the way to live. And so, this happens - âHelen donât you even DARE think about opening your dream nail salon. How ridiculous can you be?! Youâre perfect as a real estate agent, selling property and writing contracts for European clients whose names you canât pronounce. I mean, hey, struggling to rent out ancient mansions isnât that frustrating.â
Your heart will come up with all sorts of creative excuses UNLESS you manage to convince it otherwise, and make it realize âthe worry about suffering is indeed worse than the suffering itself.â Once you do that, youâll no longer need to ask for validation from others or seek happiness advice from your terminally sad friend - your heart WILL give you all of the answers. Â
So teach your heart to be fearless and your heart will teach you how to remain so. Forever. *Mic drop*
Hereâs a quote from the book: ââI am, between my flock [he was a shepherd] and my treasure,â the boy thought. He had to choose between something he had become accustomed to and something he wanted to have.â
Nobody ever accomplished something mind-blowing without encountering risk. Most people, however, are so afraid of stepping out of their comfort zones that instead they accept mediocre lives and die whining about how âeverything is so unfair.â Or complain they got no money while being jealous of everyone elseâs success. Or âwhy canât I have a hot boyfriend like Caylaâs man.â Jesus.
Because the thing is - we live like weâre scared of living. Here, Iâll wait till that sinks in⌠drowning in the quicksand of truth yet? Kay. I was in the shower making my stinky self clean the day this thought struck me. (#showerthoughts, ha.) I think I smiled. Or LOL-ed in my mind. It just sounded so stupid!
What if you had a SINGLE chance to become someone worth becoming? A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity came up. Would you really, really, continue to live your boring-ass life and lose the opportunity? Thatâs what life is about. Itâs full of opportunities to turn the tables and have a new, exciting start. To leave a dull, boring life behind and never look back!
   But because they usually come at a price (like quitting your lame job and having the courage to start the business youâve always wanted to), most are scared of leaving the shores to explore the dangers of the unknown. DONâT do that. Lifeâs not tryna kill you here. This ainât no Jumanji. Be brave, my friend, trust that life has your back (it does), and take those risks that have the potential to change your life phenomenally.
Go out today and live an amazing, adventurous life because itâs short and youâll never be this young. And, inch by inch, day by day, step out, pal. Step outta your comfort zone. THATâS where the real danger is.
This was one of my favourite parts in the book. Here (spoiler alert), the boy was asked to find âlife,â an omen the Alchemist wanted to discover before guiding the boy to his destiny. The boy, as it always happens in stories, had no idea what the old man meant. So, my dude did this. He let loose the reins on his horse. The horse, drunk on freedom, ran and only came to a stop in front of a small hole in the desert ground. When the alchemist put his hand inside that hole, he found a tiny black snake (yes the snake bit him, but apparently heâs Superman). The boy had thus found life and could now begin his journey.
The hidden meaning behind this (authors sure love to do this to us, huh) was that life finds life. Similars attract. The horse had a feeling that there would be a living creature inside that hole, simply because they were both alive. Real deep shit. You feel me? Otherwise known as the Law of Attraction, this suggests that you attract the things you value or think about the most. To put simply, like = like.
For instance, if youâre a grouchy human and complain about the insignificants, I know two things about you (yes, Iâm magic): A) you are not shiny at all, my pal, your life story is a pile of dust (the dust ainât shiny either) and B) you probably have the same kind of lame friends too.
You attract what you give your attention to, whether subconsciously or not. Letâs say you value loyalty and think cheating is a big no-no. If you continue to value it for a while, you yourself will become a loyal hoe and not do the dirty deeds. Like = Like. Similarly, if you value hard work and relentlessness, eventually (itâll speed up the process if you consciously work harder, BTW), youâll find yourself having those traits.
Moral of the story? To make your life shiner, change your beliefs, attitude, values and personality to the affirmative. Life will be a blast for you.
And finally, the last one! Letâs end by saying life is going to throw many obstacles and adversities at you. It ALWAYS does. The pursuit to your destiny begins with beginnerâs luck (in complex tongue, the principle of favorability) and ends with the victor being severely tested. Sadly, THATâS the point where most give up. Just when they are inches away from their treasure, they give up. It gets too hard for them, they lose faith, stop trusting their instincts - and BAM, theyâre back to square one.
  Donât let that happen to you. Just know that all the obstacles you face, they arenât failures. The only true failure in life is quitting. Everything else is just gathering information. And one last thing, before I leave and try to pry away that one taco I see in Patâs hand, remember this quote, âthe darkest hour of the night comes just before dawn,â and when life throws a fit, hang on, knowing your dream life awaits you just around the corner. You are going to conquer life. Iâm so proud of you.
