#small bits of wisdom

[plentiful-pushes]

I'd to blurt a small piece of wisdom, today.

For those who struggle with things:

Nothing lasts forever,

Neither good or bad.

It never lasts forever,

that doesn't mean it

doesn't mean anything.

It means something, IF

it doesn't last forever if

it did, It'd mean. . . . . . .

nothing, So hold your

self together.

The moment won't last

forever neither you, but

atleast you will last.

Even if just for awhile,

last just a little longer.

"The Holly King approached me. Tall, calm, with an air of confidence about him like none I've ever felt. 'Know me better man!', he exclaimed in a booming voice, 'for I have traveled far across seasons and skies to bring what abundance is needed.' From his cloak produced a mirror. No fancy etchings or frames, a simple silver ring around it. 'What folly,' I spoke to him, 'for what use could that mirror hold?' His smile faded to a still face, lost in the memories of his long life. 'This is my gift, once it was a cauldron when plagues ran the land dry, then a sack full of toys when kids needed to learn and live. Now it's a mirror to hold all of something, but not enough of it.' my curiosity peaked as he turned it to me. And all I saw was myself. 'Humanity' he explained, 'the love of others much like the love for ourselves. The knowledge of how precious life is, because of how dear we hold ours. The world doesn't need me, the world needs people like you. The ones who will stand for his siblings and regard their life like his own.'

Who are you without them?

Seems vague but just follow me here. Think of the image of yourself and how you act, mostly with other people. You probably like the same things or try to keep up with the conversation to be social because that's what we do. But what about when they're not there? Do you still have a shared interest in all those things? Do you really feel validated in your opinion without theirs?

How often do you put yourself in a mold to be liked by others? We construct social circles and hierarchies, do all we can in our power to create boxes that we all can fit into. It should be obvious you won't fit into every box, but why try so hard to fit into any? Where on the path of humanity did we feel the need to create a cookie cutter mentality and try to all be like someone else?

Think back to when you were a kid, and your parents told you not to do that because you won't make friends. Fuck it, do the thing! Remember when you weren't sure about how you felt on your identity, so you made a friend to help guide you but they ended up instructing you how to feel and what to call yourself? Forget about them! The idea of being yourself means that YOU make the rules in your life.

YOU get to call the shots and yourself by whatever you want. How often do you feel like a side character? A NPC in someone else's SIMS? Hell no! You darling are the main character! You get to write your story, rebel, love, laugh, cry. Only you get to experience this all through your own consciousness, don't waste it trying to be like others because you feel you should, you have to, or it's what's best.

Today is your day, because you get to decided what to do with it. How to look, act, dress etc.. Today you too are the star in the basement, a shining ball of creation that has kept itself hidden for too long.

I have a theory that the only reason there is so much terrorism in the world at the moment is because countries are too afraid to help fix the world by declaring open war on anybody who oppresses anybody else - whether it be a race, colour, creed, religion, or country.
