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 I’m having a mango smoothie at the moment. I like to read poetry but I’m also a fan of marvel comics. I hate numbers but I’m studying maths, physics and chemistry. Maybe I’ll teach. Maybe I’ll be a lawyer. Maybe I’ll end up doing something entirely different. I don’t 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. It’s like they want you to stay in one lane forever, and I can’t stand it.
I’ve got no love for society, but I like my life, even with all its twisted turns. I’ve made peace with what I can’t fix, who I’ll never be, and the stuff I’ll never outrun. Part of me will always wear a mask, and that’s just how it is—I’ve 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 you’re not living in a false reality. The real problem is we’ve got it all wrong, misunderstood, like trying to read a novel upside down. But maybe, just maybe, there’s a sliver of a shot to rewrite some of it. The rest? Hell, it’s 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 can’t. Love without strings attached. And after that? Just exist. Be whoever the hell we think we are.
