And so, here it is. We're coming to it now. The place where I can no longer bear to be where I am, perched on the edge of this underwhelming summit. The same place where I don't dare take another step.
I think they call it paralysis. And here's the fact that I should find empowering but actually find horrible depressing: it's nobody's fault but my own.
I'm just trying to be a person. But I have found that it's hard work. We cannot remain true to ourselves by merely existing. We must contend, we must be willing to go to battle for who we want to be.
That is so true. I've been learning that lately too -- you have to fight fiercely for a full life. It'll never just happen in most cases.

ReplyDeleteI've become so used to communicating in emojis. some would say it's a crutch but I kinda just think the crying eyes and the goal hands would say what I want to say so much better. This quarter life crisis thing is the total pits. but I'm finding solace in the fact that I'm not alone. We must be willing to go to battle for who we want to be. Thanks !!!!
ReplyDeleteYou've really put into words something I am presently trying to grasp.
