Where I Am Right Now

I wish I could say my life could be an inspiration to others, but that just isn't true. The only thing here is demotivation.

Nothing here is overcome. I find myself hurtling towards a fate I have known for far too long. I don't want to surrender to it, but I can't seem to get a foothold. As I've said before, it's almost like my entire environment is a trap. How do you escape when you don't know anything different?

They will all deny that I am trapped.
Their delusion is so complete they think they are doing what is best for me. This is because I cannot possibly know what is best for myself.

They'd love me to be independent in all honesty. But I resist that because it means responsibility?

I don't know how to escape my fate, and I'm not sure anyone else really knows either.

I know I'm holding myself prisoner. Responsibility is borne by me as well.
For every step forward, two steps back. So easy to fall back into old habits. Too easy. So few good habits.

It's like I know I need to make a stand somehow. Some big difference. Some change. I just don't know how. I'm supposed to figure it out for myself. I feel like I can't.

I try writing. If that's what you want to call this. I pursue nothing. That is not OK.

There is no desire to excel. No drive. So equilibrium. No change. I stay where I am. On a path I despise.

The fourth path is an illusion. The only paths I really see are someone else's.

Ideas lost, No follow-through. I must find a productive activity to persist with. And not be so easily discouraged.


It's like I don't write about what's going on at the time because every day is basically the same.

a message

The following is a message I received from someone.  I'd rather not say who for now, but may answer if asked in private.

I only gave you a challenge I thought you capable of. It is a life that I hope you will make the best of.

I know you want me to do it for you, but I am not going to. You must do it on your own.

Everyone has challenges that fit their particular life. The measure of a person possibly being whether those challenges are overcome.

It is within your power to overcome all your challenges.

Stop waiting. Nothing will come to you by waiting. You must pursue your happiness.

You wouldn't exist if you didn't have a purpose.
