A few years ago, I was someone who was terrified of being alone.
Back then, I loved making plans with friends for meals—hotpot, BBQ, stir-fry—if someone invited me, I was always there. I especially loved the atmosphere of a big group gathered together, chatting loudly and sharing food. For me at that time, if my schedule was empty, there was an inexplicable sense of panic in my chest. I thought this "connection" could help me escape the emptiness in my life, but often after the gathering ended and I walked home alone, that feeling of emptiness was even heavier than before the meal.
Later, I started trying to change—pulling back the energy I used to "seek excitement outside" and turning it inward to "reflect."
I discovered that the coolest thing about this world isn't those lively dinner parties, but rather what happens when you quiet down and think about the underlying logic of the world. Recently I came across a video by Wang Lijie, where he shared a fascinating concept: "This world is actually a lucid dream."
The meaning is: you have to first realize you are dreaming before you can avoid being controlled by the story in the dream. This state of "awakening" unexpectedly helped me find the happiness I had lost long ago.
Why Does This Video Relate to "Drawing Fortune Slips"?
This made me think about everyone coming to the website to "draw fortune slips."
Many people draw fortune slips with anxiety, just like I used to fear loneliness—wanting to find "certainty," wanting to know if tomorrow will be better. But if we follow the logic of the "lucid dream," fortune-telling actually becomes quite interesting—it's not about predicting an unchangeable future. It's more like when you're stuck while writing a script and you pause to ask the universe: "Hey, given the current state of my character, what scene should I play next?"
- Drawing a good fortune slip: It means your current "parameters (karmic seeds)" are well-tuned, and the dream is evolving in a comfortable direction.
- Drawing a less-than-ideal fortune slip: That's not bad either—it's reminding you: "Hey, scriptwriter, the seeds you've been planting in these chapters aren't quite right. Want to try a different thought?"
I wasn't always this mystical, but I found that when you treat fortune-telling as a tool to "scan your current consciousness," that anxiety of fearing loneliness and having no one around gradually disappears.

When the Seeds Change, Fate Changes
There's a line in the video that is simple but powerful: "When the seeds change, fate changes."
You don't necessarily need to meditate or chant sutras. If in the moment of drawing a fortune slip you suddenly realize: "Oh, so my confusion lately has been because of this seed!" and then decide to treat life differently—you are actually "cultivating" yourself.
This kind of clarity reached through logical "reflection" feels more grounding than attending countless dinner parties. Now, I still have meals with friends, but not out of fear of being alone. I spend more time in the late hours reading about consciousness theory, or chatting with AI about the nature of life.
Although from the outside it may seem like a very reclusive life, the freedom that comes from "understanding the logic of the script" is something that even the liveliest party could never replace.
Conclusion: Reclaim Your Role as Life's Scriptwriter
If you too are feeling stuck about certain scenes in your life, maybe you don't need to rush to find a guru. Take some time to watch this video, calm your thoughts, and then draw a guidance slip for your own script.
Remember, you're not waiting for fate to pass judgment—you're discussing with the universe how your next scene should unfold.

p.s. Now if someone asks me: "Why don't you like going out for meals anymore? Staying home studying all this—are you mentally okay?" I usually just smile and say: I'm just practicing how to be a better scriptwriter, and I don't want the script to get too noisy.
