All insight begins with a subtle question. So…

What is it that I feel right now? What is it that I desire most?

Who am I? I find myself arriving at a time where I must cement an identity, crystalize a stance.

An open mind can only take me so far. There’s a balance, a fine line that I am yet to find.

Boundaries are important. Knowing what you stand for in strict clarity instead of vague ambiguity…

I’m at a time where what once was is now not to be. It can’t be. It must leave.

This is (seemingly) the last chink in my psychology.

But I know better… There’s always more than what I can see.

Once upon a time, I held firm a belief that what I had to do was please those around me.

To be safe is to care what others though and adjust my behavior accordingly.

This is a tribute to the lessons I’ve learned under that perspective.

I grew. I have experienced a lot. An open mind will remain, but this time more tamed.

It was an act to be sane. To hold others in high esteem, to think necessary feelings of shame.

Not knowing what the right balance looks like, I step far to the extreme.

Here’s to finding a new path to the same dream.
