Call me crazy
Call me a hippie
Call me an unrealistic optimist.
Call me whatever appeases you.
Whatever makes you feel better at night knowing that my actions and thoughts have a little truth to them.
Tell me, to my face, that what we all posses isn’t fear.
Tell me you aren’t afraid of something.
Tell me why you don’t believe in true love.
Tell me why you’re depressed.
Tell me why you aren’t okay.
None of us are okay.
We all have secrets.
We all have traumas.
However grand,
However minuscule,
I will not judge you.
I will await you with pride and love to accept you for your growing ideologies.
Step one is acknowledgement.
What if we didn’t have walls around our hearts. If we didn’t fear rejection.
Let your guard down. You will find people who match your crazy. You would be surprised to see how many people see the brutal honesty to self-growth.
We are flawed creatures. We parade our perfect lives around, putting fake realities out left and right.
I am imperfect. I do have flaws.
So? I learn from my mistakes.
I have myself a tribe, a family of people who recognize that my mistakes are for me to learn from and they love me through my moments.
Unconditional love is hard to come by if you don’t truly love yourself.
We are all just self-reflections.
We think what we crave is attention.
We crave unconditional love instead.
We all hold a magic within ourselves.
Yet, we hide from this power. We run from facing ourselves in the rawest form.
Be vulnerable. Tell me I’m wrong.
Tell me that all of life is right versus wrong.
Tell me there is light in the dark and dark in the light.
Tell me I’m wrong.
Tell me the truths in my words are missing.
Without the bad, we wouldn’t learn the good.
That’s if we allow ourselves to be open to it. If we all loved one another as much as we love ourselves, we could create utopia.
With this, I only hope I will get to one of you. At least one. One person is all it takes. Planting seeds within the people I meet. Watching them watering themselves. Then, planting seeds themselves. We can and we will flourish.
