Moved from my old profile... Yet it still holds true.

The infinite possibilities each day holds should stagger the mind. The sheer number of experiences I could have is uncountable, breathtaking, and I'm sitting here, refreshing my inbox on an online "community".
We live our lives trapped in a cycle, reliving a few days over and over again. We see only a handful of paths laid out ahead of us. We see the same things each day. We respond the same way, we think that same thoughts. Each day is but a slight variation on the previous, every moment smoothly following our social "normalities". We act like if we just get through today, then tomorrow all our dreams will return to us.

I don't have all the answers. I don't know how to motivate myself into realising the potential of what each moment could become. All I know is this; The solution doesn't involve diluting every little idea I have, every creative impulse for the sake of someday easing my life to fit a form of that which is expected of me. What is expected of me by other people. It doesn't involve constantly holding back from actions that could possibly upset someone, that could shake things up, as it were.
