The Race.


Ever felt so down, that’s all you could see? Bright darkness. Ever felt so alone, you heard millions of voices?  Crowded loneliness.  Ever wanted love so much, you hated it? Walking contradiction.

Sometimes, most times, you feel out of place. You never really belong. Feigned coolness.  No one’s like you. No one relates. Your feelings are unpopular, your thoughts the outcasts of general opinion.  You operate differently than anyone you’ve ever met.

Eventually, you become your best friend. You give to everyone as much as you can and the room for reciprocity is vacant.  How do you become someone you can feel proud of? How do you bypass the awkwardness? How do you embrace it? 

The quest for self discovery is a longer race for some than others. Watching those around you seemingly laps ahead makes exhaustion a familiar accomplice. But when they come back around you realize they’re in the exact same place as you are in life. Take it all in stride.  Peace of mind is at the finish line.
