If I imagine being a lizard,
the first thing I notice is how simple life seems.
No ambition.
No anxiety.
No existential dread.
Is that just fantasy—
or is there something uncomfortable there
about how humans live?
Ossan’s answer:
It’s uncomfortable because it exposes
what we’ve normalized.
If you were a lizard,
you wouldn’t judge low energy
as a personal flaw.
You’d treat it
as information.
Too cold? Don’t move.
Warm enough? Act.
Humans lost that permission.
We turned states into identities.
Tired becomes lazy.
Rest becomes avoidance.
Waiting becomes failure.
The fantasy isn’t about wanting to be a lizard.
It’s about wanting
energy to stop being a referendum
on your worth.
You don’t need to give up
thinking or planning
to learn from this.
You just need to notice
how often you’re blaming yourself
for weather you didn’t choose.
Lizards don’t have better lives.
They just don’t argue
with physics.
And sometimes,
that’s the shocking part.
