rock bottom: a memory

Looking back at posts I reblogged two years ago, when I had hit rock bottom; when it felt like I would never reach the norms that were uplifted by people who looked down upon me because I never measured up to what they believed to be real. I have always lived in a dimension of sheer imagination, I have always believed that I would change the world, I have always been capable of going to college and leading what is considered an ordinary life, but I didn’t want that. To me, they all seemed crazy to want the same thing, when I demanded a future I could not possibly dream; a future beyond my imagination, because that I truly believed, is what I could be living. Now, I’ve inspired thousands of people and despite the odds against my peculiar beliefs, I created my own world and it’s a lot better to live in.

Rock bottom is only a feeling but, sometimes those seem out of control so, take a little fortune cookie advice from me –

1. Starting something new is always going to mean leaving something behind. The past tends to seem much more desirable, the moment you decide to face your fears about the future, but the life you want resides in that place you’re afraid to find. So, for what it’s worth, make that trip.

2. Losing is a part of life, if you look around you, there are people losing wallets, losing jobs, people losing hair and people losing their seat, if you’re not careful you might just lose the shoes right off your feet. Loss is a natural phenomenon, so appreciate life momentarily.

3. There are roads you will walk briskly, there are roads you will crawl, roads you will fall, and roads that will lead to a fork. At the end of the road, time meets fate but whether you do, depends on your will to continue.

Remember, strength is just hope in disguise. “Th-th-th-that’s all folks!”
