No matter your relationship to me, there's something I feel I must confess: I am not who you think I am. Yes! I’m shouting into the void, but maybe I’ve got one person's attention. So if you, dear reader, would please stick around, maybe you’ll uncover who I am.
I was a boy, born from the desert, raised by fear and terror, made to be deeply ashamed to be human, stripped of individuality and autonomy. I was sold an inferior lie, and I believed it true. While my youth wasn't truly that desperate, and my conditions not that dire, to me, a person living my reality, I was living a false life; I was robbed of the pleasure of discovery.
Taking life into my hands, I made MY choice. I took my leave. I had hoped to find clarity.
Life has always been a puzzle, longing to be solved. How poetic that one should make a symbolically grand odyssey, seeking rebirth, moving states away from home just in time to witness the start of the demise of the modern myth; “The Promise of America”, The American Dream, “...because you have to be asleep to believe it!”
Even more poetic that nearly six years later, I'd still be on a path to discover myself amidst all the wreckage and the calamity. Truth arrives at the most inopportune of times, but I have begun to reconcile with my truths. Regardless of the circumstances of the world, and despite the proverbial sword of damocles hanging over-head, I feel compelled to write this; change is indeed possible! Not just for me, nor for you, but for us; the collective that is Humanity.
There are those who share this feeling, the feeling that the world is in motion and that you are but a vessel lost to the endless void, aimlessly drifting with no purpose. But you know ultimately that the truth within is, you are capable of metamorphosis. You have the power to make ripples in the pond, and by proxy, to the lakes and seas!
"Follow the white rabbit."
Maybe you knew me by name, but I am not the name I was given; instead, I choose to evolve. Our words have so much power, and with that power, "There is no spoon". Whatever your relationship to me in the past, I am here now as someone who has begun their journey into the special world.
