I’m afraid of being alone in life. I am afraid of being rejected. I am afraid to put myself out on a limb. I feel the worst has always happened, and will happen again. All of these things are true. All of these things are false. I’ve lived in oblivion, I’ve lived in clarity. I’ve been naive, and I’ve been wise beyond my years. I am a collage of life. The glasses I view the world through are ruby tinted some of the time. Other times, I take them off. Sometimes the world is a big, bad place, but more often, it is nothing more than a figment of my imagination. Perception is reality. Let yourself be free. Just STOP. BREATHE. WAIT. You look, but do you see? Try again, try harder. If the prize isn’t behind your door, then learn from whatever is. You’ll find your prize when you’ve learned the right way to look for it.
