Sometimes this world offers me to be lost and still breathe. Go places and forget where I came from. Look at the sky and watch the moon and sun proclaiming their love of a lifetime.
I love coffee but Iām having a mango smoothie at the moment. I like to read poetry but Iām also a fan of marvel comics. I hate numbers but Iām studying maths, physics and chemistry. Maybe Iāll teach. Maybe Iāll be a lawyer. Maybe Iāll end up doing something entirely different. I donāt know.
What I do know is this: it pisses me off that society pushes us to pick a role, slap it on like a mask, and stick with it for life. Itās like they want you to stay in one lane forever, and I canāt stand it.
Iāve got no love for society, but I like my life, even with all its twisted turns. Iāve made peace with what I canāt fix, who Iāll never be, and the stuff Iāll never outrun. Part of me will always wear a mask, and thatās just how it isāIāve got to survive. But beneath all the layers of bullshit, my life can still be something good, if I decide to make it that way.
So perhaps this world is not as twisted as we think it is; only if youāre not living in a false reality. The real problem is weāve got it all wrong, misunderstood, like trying to read a novel upside down. But maybe, just maybe, thereās a sliver of a shot to rewrite some of it. The rest? Hell, itās always going to be what it is. What we can do is carve out our own little spot, take what we can, deal with what we canāt. Love without strings attached. And after that? Just exist. Be whoever the hell we think we are.
