What's it Going to Take?

While it’s been such a long road with so much misdirection and confusion, I know that I’m nearing some sort of fantastic climax, and life- being as dramatic and significant as it is- tends to lead most others down similar paths. I’m sure that most of you reading this feel the same way. It’s like everything (or many things) is happening in exactly the opposite way as you had intended, and the dissatisfaction just won’t stop. We get pushed into the current of life and are told that there is no way out. You have to work for someone else. You have to keep this job because it pays, or because it’s stable and has benefits. It doesn’t matter how much you like it or hate it, you’re stuck here because things are going “decently” and if you risk it all, you may never come back from it. So, rather than pursuing something even better, rather than leaving your miserable relationship and pursuing the partner of your dreams or getting off of the couch to build the body of your dreams, you’d better just suck and deal with it because it’s safe. We don’t want to end up discouraged or alone, now do we? Best to settle for “meh” than pursue the “hell yeah!” Let’s just settle for “I’m doing okay, thank you” and never know what it’s like to respond with “Me? I’m having the best day of my life!”

Sound like a load of BS soup? That’s because it is, and it seemed so acceptable, so normal up until you heard someone else say it. You’ve been eating this soup for your entire life, did you even realize that you could choose something else off of the menu? You were probably worried that people would judge you for standing out, or you wouldn’t be served. Bet you didn’t realize there are other restaurants, did you? Maybe you’ll have to drive or walk a ways, but what’s the alternative? Settling for the same BS soup that you’ve been eating for too freaking long. How long are you going to settle? What is it going to take for you to open your eyes and see; open your mouth and yell “what have I been doing all this time? I’ve got to make this right!”

It took me a year of feeling placeless and watching my family move away before I realized how badly I want this. So, what’s it going to take you?
