On Writing
__________________________________
Have I lost my intention in this digital jungle,
among algorithms and figments of friends?
*
Have I succumbed to the allure
of external validation and breadcrumbs?
*
Am I hiding an unsteady voice,
within the realms of reliable support?
*
Have I committed myself to self-sabotage
in acceptance of empty promises?
*
Does diversion make me feel content,
complacent enough to settle?
*
Has this easier option
changed my motivation?
*
Is this what I want? Is this what I deserve?
Nope.
*
I think I lost my balance on the steppingstones.
Splish-splash! I seek a new path.

The most beautiful dream is when you pour your heart out in pursuit
Although I haven't read the book yet, I really like this message and want to send it to you. Don't forget that in this world, except for life and death, everything is just a small thing and you are everything and I believe that you don't only have yourself, your health, your time and the people you love and support. Support at least yourself and there are many means to move forward so don't give up trying. Do you know why the people around you can find their own direction while you can't? forever struggling with the uncertainty or not it's because you think so You believe so The reality is that everyone is struggling with their own life I don't say everything but the truth is that there are always many Many young people who seem to have a stable job and a clear life path are actually stuck in the very life that many people wish they knew even though they have a stable job. In large corporate companies, I still feel lost. I know friends who thought they had found the right job but then realized they wanted something else. I also know friends who even though they have a job. good job but still desire to do things that are more meaningful to us. We are all stuck in boxes about our own problems, the only difference is the box, so you are not alone in this world.
