We live in an age of irony poisoning. The cultural water is so saturated with meta-humor, cynicism, and the fear of being cringe that sincerity has become the most radical act left. To say "I love you" without a laughing emoji. To admit you want to change the world without a self-deprecating hashtag. To pursue a craft, a faith, or a dream with zero irony.
To be superduper serial is to burn the ships on the shore. It is to say, "I am not keeping a backup plan. I am not keeping one foot out the door. I am here."
And just be superduper serial about it.
When you are superduper serial about something, you aren't just having a feeling. You are committing to a narrative. You are saying, "I am going to show up for this tomorrow, and the day after, and the day after that." It transforms a fleeting emotion into a plot line.
The world doesn't need more people who are kind of interested. It needs people who are superduper serial about kindness. About justice. About art. About showing up. superduper serial
Marriage is serial. Raising children is serial. Building a business or a body of work is serial. It’s not one loud declaration; it is the quiet, grinding consistency of a thousand small choices.
That takes guts.
So here is my confession, typed in the raw light of this Tuesday afternoon:
A serial is a sequence. A story that unfolds over time. A commitment to the next episode, the next chapter, the next breath. We live in an age of irony poisoning
Being serial is standing in the firing line of reality and refusing to flinch.
I want to invite you to reclaim that childish phrase. Not the misspelling, but the spirit. To admit you want to change the world
