Potential

Why can’t it all just be better??!

There’s so much potential in this world, so much potential in this life.

And I can’t help but feel like we are running out of time.

Or maybe that’s just the clock on my own time that I’m watching tick, because of decisions that I’ve made, that I keep on making, that I can’t figure out how to stop making.

I’m possessed, the product of an amalgam of pernicious influences, and I am what their careless comingling has spit up.

I feel off. I need to eat, and then go to the gym maybe, if I can muster the energy to do that, and then run some errands.

And then I need to be a higher being, figure out perhaps what’s going on in the world at a deeper level, what’s REALLY going on, connect people stranded in loneliness like myself, conquer the problems that keep yanking me down, that keep yanking all of us down.

I won’t let them keep yanking me down.

I’m going to do everything I can to express my potential. I’m going to take this seriously. No excuses this time.

Because whenever I’ve approached something with that mindset, I’ve won every time.
