When the Chosen line was suggested to me at the beginning of my time here, I rejected it immediately. I thought it represented the worst kind of smiley, scumbag “high EQ” people I’d met in my life so it was a hard pass. I also wasn’t particularly interested in being happy. Wasn’t in a good place (mentally) at all.
Lately I’ve been reading some of the Chosen copy again and I feel stupid. Actually, it matches the people who I respect the most in my life and the best bosses I’ve worked under – men and women who have that inner strength and outer radiance that you know immediately you don’t want to fuck with. But they aren’t domineering – far from it. Positive, humble, effective, clear, decisive, uplifting. I would do anything for them because:
- I don’t want to let them down
- I know they believe in me
- I believe in the mission/task at hand
I have Khan as my “endgame” sub, but when I think about who I am and who inspires me in real life… maybe it was the Chosen archetype all along…
I’m done being an emotionally closed off and stunted person. I’ve seen benefits to opening up the good and the bad in me, and I like the direction I’m headed. This might be the way…
+1 for Chosen updates
EDIT: @Prioritas do you think we could see the Chosen series turn into a multi-stage? Seems ripe for it tbh.
