Perception

Here we all are, doing things to make people we don't even like think we have our lives together. We spend our time polishing our resumes, and painting on a look of happiness and success. For who? Other equally confused people?

We care more about how we are perceived than how we truly are. I would rather have a life of misinterpreted good intentions than a life of selfish motives disguised by their inherent goodness.

This society of competition and scramble for "success" has ruined any chance of reaching out for help. And it's gross, it's gross that a child can't tell their parents that they feel broken, it's gross that friends can't tell friends that they need help. Why the hell are we here if it's not to help each other? We're here to grow from each other and fix each other, we're to help each other make it through this loud place we are in.

I'm tired of trying to look like I know what I'm doing, really I have no idea who I am or who I want to be. I don't know what I want to do with my life I don't know where I'm going, and I'm ok with it. I'm just a person with no idea where he's going I'm guessing at every turn, sometimes it feels messy and disorganized and sometimes sad but if I've ever learned anything, it's from Mrs. Frizzle.

"Take chances, make mistakes, get messy!"

Don't live inside the box, sometimes even if you know it is a mistake, you don't really know it is a mistake until you make it. And you can't learn if there is nothing to learn from.

I don't remember what I've written, maybe there's something good in it?

I'll leave you with my favorite Tumblr quote

"Not all those who wander are lost"

Thanks for listening... Reading? Go back, read this out loud ......
