There are often many things that I have a tendency to reminisce about. As I sit here on this dirty floor in piermont listening to my pretentious music all I can seem to do is think.
At what point is it truly acceptable to just throw in the towel and give up. Admitting defeat is something that everyone must deal with regardless of how society seems to shun such a thought. In a world where we grow up being dazzled of stories about little triumphant trains that persevered and mocked the idea of ever quitting, what sort of message is truly being taught?
Is not striving or doing everything absolutely in your power to excel and forward the dream really that bad? Failure is something that isn't really taught as much as it is earned. You have to strive and fight in order to get to the point where you can even fail.
Failure is a given. So why is it then that we go to such great lengths in order to avoid what is just inevitable. There is no reason to be that one person childish and naive clutching on to their dreams as if just the hope alone will guide them to safety.
There are only so many things one can do and change in order to achieve some sort of cruel goal. Only so many revisions that can be done while the remainder continues unaffected as a constant.
Maybe its time to truly accept what Ive always known to be true.
