Do you ever read snippets of things you have written? You read the words and they capture yourself, but so much time has passed, you have forgotten the what seems now foolish, ridiculous ideas and beliefs that you once owned, so many moments before. Do you wish you could jump into your old body, and re-write a different story but having the ability to keep all your present thoughts and knowledge?
If we were to re-write history what would it affect? We all have paths in life and we choose where we head. I had the most overwhelming feeling the other day. It's like I was sitting in one of those crazy American motorways, the ones with around 30 different roads all encircling one another but heading outward different directions. It's like I knew what path 'I should' take but instead I felt myself getting behind the wheel and taking the path I knew was wrong. If you know a road is going to be a dead end do you still take it? If you knew something was doomed from the beginning would you still take the risk? And if all roads do in fact 'lead to Rome' then what is the need for a map? I say take the journey. Experience life at it's best because you only get to live it once. I'm sick of being pocketed into stereotypes and suffering from blatant hypocrisy. Why be average? Don't take the highway straight to the city, but in fact take the back roads. For in lies the adventure of a lifetime. Enjoy everything. Sleep all day on a weekday 'just because you feel like it', drink beer at 10 in the morning, scream 'fuck you' in the middle of a crowded street if it makes you feel alive. Just never lose touch with yourself.
Once you're lost the whole world disappears with you.
Don't worry about others, because truth is .. they move on .. and your still left with the ugly thoughts of bitterness and regret in your seemingly over crowded mind.
-- By the time you figure it out, it's often too late.
So quit waiting, and wake the hell up!
