we've planned, so as to have the life that is
waiting for us. The old skin has to be shed before
the new one can come. If we fix on the old, we get
stuck. When we hang onto any form, we are in
danger of putrefaction."
-Joseph Campbell from the Reflections on the Art of Living

It's easy to lose yourself within a world where everyone wants to make you into something that benefits themselves and society. It's easy to lose sight of your dreams, your hopes, the things that make you different than the rest as doubt begins to cripple your confidence and self-respect. There are many negatives that drown this world, and many darks avenues that steer you away from your path. But if you venture through life afraid of what's around the corner, you'll never get a chance to make things differet, or better, or make your dreams become a reality. If you live by somebody else's standards you only cage your soul into slavery.
I feel a change coming. I feel my life's calling drawing nearer and nearer. My soul anticipates the freedom ahead, to free myself of the shackles that have inevitably been placed around my hands and feet. Who knew that so little could weigh so much?
