Stumbled upon something I wrote 12 years back. Just three words on a page: "live an epic story."

Wild how a younger version of yourself can drop wisdom bombs you didn't even realize you needed. That phrase hit different now—not as some motivational fluff, but as a genuine compass.

Maybe the best ideas are the simple ones we keep forgetting.

Ha, I was actually more clear-headed 12 years ago than I am now, that's really something. Seriously, the most awkward thing about looking through old stuff is realizing that the phrases that used to come so easily have now become life guides. The simplest things are the hardest to do, brother.

Damn, my 12-years-ago self really had something. This sentence really hits home now.

Damn, how was I so clear-headed 12 years ago, but now I'm lost instead? This is just ridiculous... the fragmented thoughts from my youth have actually become my salvation. The simplest things are the most powerful—one sentence is worth ten thousand words of nonsense.

The words we hear when we're young all sound valuable, but looking back, you realize... you truly understand only after you've paid your dues. You should sell on a rebound, even epic gains need to be cashed out in batches—don't just hold on to fantasies all day. Everyone understands simple principles; what's hard is not being greedy when it's time to act... that's the difference.

You were truly amazing 12 years ago. Only now do I understand how determined you were back then.

Damn, how was I able to come up with stuff like this when I was younger? Now I just can't. Did my past self 12 years ago eat something special or what? Just three words and I made it so deep, I'm impressed.

ngl this hits different... reminds me of when i had conviction before the liquidation cascade. simple truths hit hardest when you're already broke, you know?

I was so wild 12 years ago, haha --- Living like an epic? Sounds nice, just too expensive --- Now I realize the things I wrote when I was young were real, but it's a pity I've wasted so many years --- Everyone understands simple truths, the hard part is sticking to them --- Damn, I've also dug up my cringey teenage diaries and blushed reading them --- "Living like an epic" sounds exactly like something I'd do, but in reality I'm still just lying around
