I think I figured out why the hell I am here on this forum.
At first I thought it was cuz there are not really any better forums. But thats DEFINATELY not it.
I think the real reason I'm here is because I had to overcome my feeling of defeat on my own.
Sometimes, you are loneliest around people. They strip you of illusions of support your ego feeds you.
I think I wanted to feel alone enough, cut my ego feed off enough, to find the strength to get beyond the defeat.
What defeat?
Well, it is present here clear as day. People being snide, or snappy, or shame happy, it is all a symptom of feeling like there is something you can't control, explain or get away from.
I don't mean to be melodramatic, its not a terrible type of defeat its just the kind of defeat you have to face, chew up, and digest, until you know you are done letting it kick your a##.
I'm done, letting it defeat me. Done letting others fears bother me.
Instead, I aim to see hope others don't see, and be fearless towards the things people have not yet overcome.
I aim to LEAD my own way, and not let anyone elses conditions define what I do.
Seeing hope others don't doesn't make you an "elite"
It just means you have what it takes to not let it all keep pulling you down.
To stop asking for permission to succeed.
It doesn't mean you are wise either, or "better" (thats a full on load of horse sh#t).
It just means that you, as defective or riddled with fears as you might be, are sufficient enough to progress without handholding.
You won't LET IT defeat you.
I raise a glass to you folks, you are all tough sons of b#tches.
Business ain't no picnic.
Don't ever do less than your absolute best, UNTIL you have enough balls to know you don't need a comforting answer that tells you that you are going to make it through.
Don't let this cr#p defeat you.
See the hope others can't, and don't be ashamed that you do.
Wear it proudly. And do what you do best.
