the world would be a much simpler place
if we could simply stop ourselves from failing when it was important. and yet, we cannot. and yet, we must go on. You can always turn your life around, but the changes aren’t always instant. They don’t always come in time to save you from the consequences of what you were like before. That doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t change. That doesn’t mean that the progress you’ve made was for nothing. - Atlas

we only have so much time
and I don’t want to spend it living in fear of doing the things I love even if that means doing them badly there's more complicated thought behind this, but this is the gist of A Feeling - Atlas knots grow in your hair
when you aren’t looking. you didn’t put them there-- not on purpose, anyway-- but they arrive all the same. it's a metaphor, it's the truth - Atlas why is it so hard to do
the thing I know that I should do, the thing right in front of me, the thing that is so easy to turn away from, the thing that is always waiting for me when I close my eyes got a little more intense than I expected at the end there XD - Atlas buried deep inside me
is and perhaps has always been the desire to make people happy I am not sure I know who I would be without it I am not certain if I want to did I forget to post yesterday?? hm - Atlas don’t you see?
I am afraid because it matters, because this is something that is important to me. and it is precisely because of this that I must go, that I must walk out onto that stage and face the great unknown. and I did it! and it was good. it won't always be--that's what it means, to take a risk--but it was worth it - Atlas and there are many types of victory
that can be had, many kinds of success to strive for but to me I think the most important is to step out onto that stage because at the end of my life I don't think I'll care if I made a fool of myself but I think I'll care that I tried hm. thoughts - Atlas I know, I know
I'm being brave but my best today and my best tomorrow might look different will they be enough for you? for me? shmeh - Atlas what is walking if not the act of falling
and catching yourself again and again is this not how progress is defined by refusing to let the story end this feels like it could definitely be expanded into a larger poem (we'll see if I come back to it XD) - Atlas "we're just the same person
in two different fonts"-- perhaps so. but I cannot help remembering a friend who felt like me but underneath was someone completely different. perhaps this is the inverse. I wonder how it will be different ho hum - Atlas |
