What Is It

Does one really know when it has become time to cut and run; just as fast as possible to get away before anyone knows your gone. When your only option is to let it go as well as take it for what it is truly worth; trying to avoid being burnt πŸ”₯ worse than if a solar flare from the sun 🌞 left you scorched. Could it be your destiny to be labeled always as the loser type? That one at the high school reunion that brings a friend to act as they wife for the night. All to fit in instead of the complete failure everyone said you would be; so your friend agrees to help make it appear as if you had accomplished something. Could have had the hottest wife at the reunion if the price is right; in collusion to help you feel like a King for at least one evening of your life. Anything to change the repetitive boring drabs of your day to day existence; only gets magnified more when being met with the most minimal of resistance. You want changes to happen overnight just as simply as the morning πŸŒ… comes; yet expecting to do nothing to facilitate this since you live by the beat of your own drum πŸ₯. However Einstein said doing the same thing over and over expecting different results is insanity; if so then life itself is no more than one tragedy filled crazy train πŸšƒ driven calamity. Before dismissing my thought just think bout it for a quick minute and I believe you will begin to see; that any and everything in life ends up equating to be the very exact definition of insanity. Break down any section of your life and see what you come up with as the conclusion; just how many times and ways will you need the same result before you recognize the trend. Is it just human nature to hope or expect things will get better in life? Well if nothing else gives goals to aim for, to try to attain, to reach for and strive. Without goals and ambitions to go after then what would be the point of even being here? To me be as pointless as having a brand new car that won't go into first gear. Sure it is good to look at but if it won't get you anywhere, then it is useless; also not one that let's looks matter enough to stunt or flex. Not ever been my style and damn sure not starting now at this juncture in my life; not when my priorities have shifted from myself to my family and soon to be wife. Back to the subject at hand - insanity - sorry for getting side tracked; just felt the need to set the record straight as a matter of fact. So now let's take a look at work, the 9-5 type of job Dolly sang about; probably have a normal little routine you follow from wake up til you lay down. Same thing daily over and over, setting off that mental alarm ⏰ or ring a bell yet? Give you that deja vu tingling sensational feeling we have all felt and get. Do you happen to get that way or remember having that feeling alot? If like me then proceed to dismiss it without so much as a second thought. Now think bout the reality of dede vu being that been there, done that feeling; how you can never quite explain or put it into words either because, well, it is a feeling. As a result only you can quite understand it or the depths it may dive; now that my friends is the ''insanity' I speak of that we all feel if alive. That feeling we get on the way to work of here we go AGAIN; that feeling that all we are doing is spinning the wheels waiting for the end. Plus if completely honest bout it, even if just in our heads or to ourself; we probably get that feeling way more than we are willing to tell.
