our semi-conjoined thoughts. freaky but true.
More often in life, when we want to do something that we really want, we tend not to do it because of the risks involved and the fact that we feel that we're not up to it. Therefore, we look for an alternative. We then find comfort in it and start convincing ourselves that we did the right thing. Once we get past the comfort and convincing we suddenly realize that we've been lying to ourselves all this while. However, by then it's too late to turn back. In reality, this is how it usually works. The dream will forever be a dream and the lie that we find comfort in will be our new reality.
We've been programmed to always choose security as the easy way out. Although it's not what we want, we tell ourselves it's gonna be alright. And the truth is, it's gonna be alright. The fear of the unknown is what stops us from taking that first steps. The risks and what ifs. What if I'm not good enough? What if I'll fail halfway through. Will i be able to handle the pain? I think it comes down to a matter of choice. Are we up to the challenge or should we just take the easy way out? Sometimes i still i ask myself if I'm doing the right thing. I enjoy what I'm doing now but what about a year or three years or even ten years from now? Should i have chosen the easier way out? I'd like to believe that the choices I've made we made for a reason and time will tell. But the truth is, were they and will it?
I guess sometimes all we really need is someone to believe in us. Believing in yourself is just crap if you ask me. With all those doubts around, just having someone, be it friend, family or partner, to believe in us makes it so much easier.
the beauty of a mind. i love you. :)
