Ever wish you can stop and talk to a complete a stranger just because you thought no one else could understand your thoughts? I have. Countless, numerous, desperate times.
It’s become more of a habit whenever I hit up the people I care about and say things like “we need to catch up”. Or even the simplest of words “lets hangout”. I don’t think people realize the meaning of “lets hangout” really means “we need to catch up”. And when you actually do meet up, there’s simply nothing to really talk about. Do we say these things just because we have this ego we try to keep towards our friends? Do we care enough to care about the other person to actually talk about our lives? Because all the pride. It needs to be dropped.
This post is not organized in any way what so ever, therefore I will end here. Any longer I think I might write a whole paragraph of pointless words.
I tend to search for the simplicity of things in the most complicated of people.
And I see all those characteristics. I just don’t say it.
In a time where sensations are bred overnight, where fame is bestowed upon anyone with an unrelenting online presence and accomplishments are measured by Youtube views and ReTweets, let’s not forget that true success can only be assessed through the perspective of time. Hype and hysteria are fleeting - by their very definitions, manufactured by marketing and packaging. Impact and influence, on the other hand, are substantiated by longevity, immutability, and persistence.
Life is a marathon. The fast to rise are fast to demise. But if you’re in this game to make a difference, you think 10 steps ahead, 10 years ahead, and you build your foundation accordingly. Be wary of the fast track because you’ll finish the race quicker. Take the long road, enjoy the scenery, and if all goes well, the ride will never end.
I feel but I don’t feel
I work but I don’t work
I love but I don’t love
I talk but I don’t talk
I walk but I don’t walk
I change but I don’t change
And I care but I don’t care
I’m so many things I think I am but I’m not
And I’ve just been a little concerned
Then again, not really.
