Why are you running from yourself?
Do you feel inadequate?
You’re just chasing your own tail.
In this age of materialism, taking care of yourself has become ever more present
Yet,
You continue to let yourself get lost in the sea of societal ideals and distractions.
The root of suffering isn’t just desire; it is comparison.
Whether that comparison be materialistic or moral.
Self doubt plants itself in your heart,
And grows when you shower it with self pity and distraction.
When you internalize the people around you,
You find it hard to let go of these “societal standards” because you’re choosing to stay comfortable.
Even though they’re stabbing you,
Even though you’re becoming lost in the maze that is your mind and heart.
I encourage you to step out of this comfort zone that you’ve created,
And become free.
Stop running, start focusing.
