“It’s often said that, no matter the truth, people see what they want to see. Some people might take a step back and find out they were looking at the same big picture all along”
Appearances can be deceiving, and I’m not one to judge the secrets that lie beneath the surface, always changing and shaping who you are and who you will become. However, there are times in life you need to re-evaluate your secrets, your passions, your scandals and judge whether that part of you is worth keeping around.
Life is filled with so many hard choices that you don’t expect to affect you the way you do, but once again, you are shocked at how the pure gravity of the choice leaves you breathless. All of these small things like friends and school and jobs influence the way you think and the things you do. Most people assume that they would always choose the same choice no matter their environment but I have to say, genetics isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. It’s made to seem that you are who you are, no if’s and’s or but’s, but I am coming to notice all of the influences that are clouding my vision.
My vision of who I am, my vision of who I want to be, and my vision of what I want my life to hold.
While I love the people that surround me, I hate them for holding me down. What’s stopping me from jetting to Europe or South America for the evening? My family, my friends, and all the obligations that come with them. I realize that I couldn’t live without them, but sometimes I can’t live with them. Have you ever wanted to travel to a foreign country and take on a whole new identity? See who you can become and how far you can go? See all the possibilities that exist for the different you?
The fact that there are all these possibilities is quite terrifying and quite freeing at the same time. One wrong move and your life could be changed forever, or one right move and your life will never be the same.
These choices and possibilities make you take a step back and rethink your decisions. These what-if’s in life can ruin a person as they constantly chase after the endless possibilities or can make a person as they constantly chase after their dreams. No matter how you look at it or what choices you make, your perspective is what makes or breaks you.
Are you going to choose to be held back or will you choose to be let free?
