Spiritual Joe Seeking Flow State Accidentally Reaches Nirvana
By Noelle Medina
VALHALLA – Inspired by the latest social media trend for getting into a groove while completing a task, local holistic chill guy Joekirk Spirit accidentally ended up on the further shore on his journey to achieve flow state.
“I was so locked in,” said Spirit. “My midterm paper was due in two hours and I’d seen all these people reaching ‘flow state’ on TikTok, so I thought I’d just give it a try.”
Spirit, upon downing three La Colombe cold brew draft lattes, became so locked in he left behind his worldly desires and climbed through the four stages of awakening: freaking tf out, gearing tf up, locking tf in, and finally, Nirvana.
“I just said ‘woah, woah,’” Spirit recalled. “I didn’t know much about Buddhism before, but I’m a big fan now. Fuck the Abrahamic religions, for real. The closest God ever got to flow state was when he created the Earth in six days. I walked the noble path and transcended beyond mortal consciousness in two hours. I’d have built Rome in a day… can’t say the same about the Big Man.”
Due to his detour in reaching flow state, Spirit did not submit his paper by the 11:59pm deadline and received half-credit from his uptight, decrepit, asshole old professor.
