There’s an old African saying that sounds simple… but hits deep:
“If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.”
In a world that glorifies solo hustle, individual success, and “I don’t need anybody” energy, this proverb quietly reminds us:
Going alone might get you there quicker… But you might burn out, break down, or disappear along the way.
How many people make fast money, only to lose it all because they had no team or no support?
How many dreams die because someone was too proud to ask for help?
How many people are “successful” but completely alone?

“But the bag is all that matters/they’re just waiting to betray me and get my shit/I’m too afraid of people to ever establish real connections/I don’t even think other people actually exist!/everyone hates me too much to walk beside me.”

It’s possible that the people that hate you are the wrong sets of people to be with. I am sure there are people out there who would appreciate you for who you are.
