Who the hell are you? You don’t know me! Your struggles aren’t mine. I’m not gonna do any of the things your gonna lecture me on and warn me about!
I know how you feel but if you’re honest with yourself and if you can relate to any of that then you might relate to any of this. Reading this with an open mind won’t hurt you and any advice giving is with the best of intentions.
You will be a product of your environment and how you choose to see it. We all are. All of your self-inflicted wounds “like some sadist” will bleed you dry and leave you scarred. If only you would take all the pain life will give you and shape it into armor and breastplate to protect your heart from the treachery of a cold world. A world where you will strive to be accepted and fit in with the crowd but you will bleed into the background. So far back you can’t see no light. I S O L A T E D … cut off from all hope, love, light, and life in order to survive in this oversized society coffin. A warrior buried alive. Without everything that makes you, you.
You can earn the stripes paid in strife but it’s a hefty price and I’m telling you it’s not worth the sacrifice. But you’re your own man … It’s your own life … It’s yours to live … It’s your life … It’s yours to give … It’s your life… Be selfless…
What is your purpose? What will you live for? Who do you want to impress? Who is your tribe? What do you value? How do you want to be seen?
Be careful while playing with societies paraphernalia. It will always leave you wanting more and more. A phantom paradise just over the next horizon. Always stressing over the future. Always trippen’ over the past.
Just be your authentic self in this moment. Go with your gut. Lead with your heart. Drown out life’s noises and see the beauty with your eyes. Embrace your tattooed soul mating in your misery. Life is struggle. Pulling you this way and that. Play the tape. Keep your 2 different mindsets. Conflicting contradictions. You can feel what’s real. Water seeks its own level. TRUTH – all that you change will change you. The HARD ROAD is a lonely path; nothing worth having is easily gained. HOPE create your karma or your karma will create you. Stay humble life is in the now no matter where you are there you will be. Find your peace. Remember there is a yang to every yin. A flip side to every coin. Every storm runs out of rain. So if you find yourself in a dark place quarantined from all the light that is life think of the caterpillar and where it goes to become a butterfly. | TA
This piece was loaded with great lines, but the ending really struck me. "So if you find yourself in a dark place quarantined from all the light that is life think of the caterpillar and where it goes to become a butterfly." Yes.
