I got an epiphany today and I just won't let it die again when I know how far it can take me. Enough running. Life is quick, ugly, and unfair when you wear my own spectacles. False impulse and phony achievements can no longer work as replacements.
I'm saving the girl who feels she doesn't belong because the truth is that the world is far too dull for someone as colourful as she is. And there are people out there who will need her strength. She doesn't fit because she's not supposed to. It has been so long now that the world has manipulated people on how they see things. Which is beautiful? Which is not? Which is right and which is wrong? This has affected them more than they realize it could.
I find it ironic that in most crucial things, most people settle for what is safe -- the middle ground. Prejudice is set aside and age-old concepts are compromised. People tend to go for what's easy and readily available to them. Snap, snap. Just like that.
Little girl, stop playin safe. Hang up those ugly hings for display and see them for what they are and not what the world tells them to be. Choose. Take a stand. Pick a side. Buy something for heaven's sake and don't just stand with your back against the wall. Delve deeper. Break the surface. Create tension.
There will come a time when the safe will drown in his own head filled with mere ideas of things he will never have. Safe One, die not knowing an epiphany -- no matter how tiny -- has already hit you right between the eyes.
