The Cure


A few weeks ago, it was brought to my attention that certain beings find themselves bothered by the recognition of a world in which "creativity" is not possible and attempt at grasp of such a notion, at any rate, is absurd. My purpose is not to disagree. In fact, I do find myself from time to time exasperated at the extreme suggestions that all actions are merely repetitions and thinking yourself distinct is pitiable. Yet, I find myself wildly provoked to hope for a more varying perspective. Pardon the possible, ludicrous idealism. If we exist solely to indicate that there "probably isn't a point in all 'this' at all," we become a pure contradiction. To go through life without stepping out of simplicity even once is pathetic. True. Not all decisions are entirely "UNIQUE," but fuck "unique-" The thing is: this is YOUR life. It's not a board game, with limited pieces and only a certain amount of cards and turns. It's once and it's yours. Your story is the only thing that truly BELONGS to you. And the fact that you, in YOUR life, have found the courage to do what you think is right, question what is wrong, and explore the uncertain, with YOUR OWN VERSIONS of what is remarkable, and true, makes you unlike anything or anyone. To be "different" is not to be the pioneer of something universal, or the very creator of a theory unlike anything else, that can change the "world as we know it." NO. It is simply to know enough about yourself, accept it, and maybe love it (just to shake things up) and then -here's the insane part- DO WHATEVER YOU FUCKING WANT WITH IT, regardless of whether or not it's been "done" before. You're you! All experiences have amounted into something unique! It's patterns, significance, an ultimate intent. To lock away all that can be, due to a sad little "realization" that you are alone and that you don't matter, because there have been people like you who have used the same words and have made the same decisions, is waste. There is purpose in everything, even when it is not evident. Accept that.LIVE. And HAVE THE NERVE TO BE EXACTLY WHO YOU ARE. It is not necessary to sit and wonder about ways to become remarkable or worthy in society, or in the eyes of speculators, judges, "friends," or even yourself. But if the fear of failure or being called "common" paralyzes the conqueror in you, I'm certain it will find a way to do exactly what it is set out to. Somehow. I'm not a self-righteous individual. I find myself asking people what they think about me, because there are moments when my narcissism understands no limit. And I want, not to be praised, but simply to be acknowledged, even for the little things. Such things can be selfish, though. So the next step is to hope that I find myself lucky enough to be surrounded by people who appreciate a little "selfishness" and "arrogance" from time to time, just for kicks. So perhaps certain goals of mine have been both envisioned about and conquered, and I might fail to accomplishing their, in my eyes, glory. And it will be the fall of who I strive to be... However, it will not be my LOSS. I have my mind, my words. And in my stupid universe: That MEANS SOMETHING

I think I needed to hear that. Though we dance different dances, you're rhythm resounds.

The Observer

I am not an artist. I am a curious observer. With the willingness to document my findings and my theories. Nothing less and nothing, but striving to be, more.
