What a beautiful mind!!

I’ve always been deeply attracted to brilliant minds—professionally, in friendships, and romantically. There’s something utterly fascinating about those who can say one word and elevate your entire train of thought. Or lead you into a deep analysis that makes you question everything. Or with just one book recommendation, help you find the missing piece of your puzzle. But the best part? Hours and hours of unstoppable conversation, trying to fix the world together.

Now here’s the problem:

99.9% of the time, all that beauty and power stays right there… in the mind. Trapped. Passive. Observing. Inactive.

I see you. I recognize the pain: the loneliness, the quiet wish to just be normal, the heaviness of knowing you’re exceptional—and not being able to say it out loud. I see the effort you make to fit in. The way your eyes drift to the right mid-sentence, reaching into some internal vault for the perfect answer. The brilliant quotes, the rapid math, the eerie foresight, the impeccable memory, the eyes that read intentions before people even act on them.

All of that? It’s easy.

It doesn’t even take effort.

It was given to you.

You keep thinking you’re special, but the truth is—you’re just privileged. There’s no real growth in what comes naturally.

So, what about the areas where you weren’t gifted?

Is there any progress there?

Can you learn emotional intelligence? Can you develop empathy?

Can you actually become a better person?

And here’s the most important question:

What have you done with your gift?

What human or social problem are you solving?

Are you truly changing the world?

You’re not.

Most of the time, I see you working for someone else, helping them build their empire.

Making them rich.

Serving their dream of power.

Like a slave.

Why can’t you raise your voice, plant your feet, and claim the position you were born for?

Why don’t you join me in this crusade—to make the world better, for ourselves, for future children, for our communities, for the planet?

You have a gift.

A beautiful mind.

Will you grow a pair—and accept my challenge?
