Have you ever woken up one day and realized that you had somehow switched universes and you aren’t sure how you got there? All of a sudden you are scrambling around trying to come to terms with the new universe and the rules that you find there. What was once black is now white and what was once white is now black.
You look around and you try to understand the place and you try to fit into a world that lives by completely different rules. Where once you were the norm, you are now the freak. So you look at your values and your philosophies and you start to adjust them here and there to fit in. But all you do is fail and just cause more confusion. Till you sit along the side of the road watching the world go by and decide that it is time for a reset of your perspective. But perspective resets aren’t easy. Along the way you kind of blast outwards and touch all of the people around you with your change until they are all slightly singed.
Sigh, that sure didn’t work. You don’t like the person you are when you look into the mirror each day as you start to fit in more and more with everyone’s perspective.
So, you look inside and you look outside and you determine that if this is the universe that I am going to live in then I need to make some decisions on who and what I am going to be.
There were elements that I really enjoyed before I got to this place and there pieces that I could do without. But, as I got rid of the pieces that I could do without it left me vulnerable and insecure and instead of settling I went to far on the changes and lost some of the important elements of me.
Now it is time to step back and rebalance who I am. For once, not redefine but rebalance.
From this day forward I am making my own Universe and if someone wants to come play in it, they can play by MY rules for once.
I am a creature of Light and I refuse to take your darkness and insecurities into my Soul
I am a creature of Laughter and I refuse to allow your world to cause me to despair.
I am a creature of Beauty and I refuse to allow your ugliness to paint me with your brush.
I am a creature of Dreams and I refuse to allow your nightmares to color my world.
I am a creature of Hope and I refuse to allow your reality to kill it off.
I am a creature of Love and I will not allow your hate to kill me.
This is my universe filled with dreams, laughter, love, beauty, hope and light. I walk away from the darkness and despair of your universe and step into my own.
