The sheer number of experiences I could have is uncountable and breathtaking, sadly I am still sitting here refreshing my inbox. We live trapped in loops. Reliving a few days over and over, and we only envision a handful of paths laid out to us. We see the same things each day, we respond the same way, we think the same thoughts, each day a slight variation on the last.
Every moment smoothly following the gentle curves of society norms. We act like if we get through today, tomorrow our dreams will come back to us.
And no, I don't see all the answers. I don't know how to jolt myself into seeing what the moment could become. But I do know one thing: The solution doesn't involve watering down my every little idea and creative impulse for the sake of some day easing my fit into a mold. It doesn't involve tempering my life to better fit someones expectations. It doesn't involve constantly holding back for fear of shaking things up.
This was in a book I recently purchased. Amazingly written. I love this, and I need to start living my life by it.
