Without ink the author just has the thoughts. It can never come to fruition if the ink does not create it into something physical in this realm of existence. That is why we exist, to create what is real in the narrative world into something real in the physical world.
Have you ever questioned where your thoughts even come from? Who you are? What you are?
How is it that we all just go about our days and talk about random thoughtless topics when the reality of what we are and how we are alive is right there on the table. Nobody likes to bring up that in conversation because well you’re an adult, you should have it down by now that you just exist and that is the way things are. Get used to it already.
Our roles are much greater than the act of simply existing, even though that act alone is crazy enough. We are meant to dive into what makes us tick and chase it down. Not just what makes you excited and motivated, but what makes you scared and filled with doubt. Understand why that is.
How well can you actually know yourself if you aren’t actively pushing the line of what you are comfortable with. Why it is that a certain fear has the ability to stop you from getting to where you really want to get to in your mind. Where does this fear come from? Who gave it power over me?
You also need to explore who you would be if you stopped listening to these fears and doubts. What kind of a person would you become, would you be better or worse? Did you get closer to your goal without them, and was it hard to stop listening to them.
Well, this is that space right now in this moment you are in. That space that you operate freely as yourself. I happen to be writing this at the moment, or maybe this is later in the future and I am re-reading this in the hopes that it could snap me out of the mind prison I am in.
It happens to us all, we fall prey to the void of our own mind. To the alarms that ring when change is calling. We all have in us the ability to create a world within a world. It is the gift that came off the fragment of the author you were made out of. We all carry the need to create worlds within worlds.
We romanticize the feeling of pain and loneliness as if it were some Medal of Honor you need to carry around. Then when we come across someone who has moved past that and learned to enjoy the world and the struggles that come with it, we almost don’t want to hear it.
Why should we want to hear about it anyway? This person clearly does not understand what goes on in our minds and could never relate to this feeling. We differ from those that don’t suffer the same fate as us.
We find comfort with those that share our fate… but don’t you dare try and get yourself out of it! Or else what would we have in common?
I don’t know the “right” answer to this, as this happens to also be my first time doing this living thing we are doing. I do think I have acquired a different eyesight though, one that lets me see where others are when they come out with their actor’s face on. If they showed their real face then they might alarm anyone about the problems you are dealing with that feel bigger than your world.
You can see the size of someone problems in their mind by how they allow that problem to dictate what they do or don’t do in their day.
We all want something, even those claiming to not want anything. It is something programmed into us and I’m afraid there is no way to take it out that I know of.
That inherent truth is behind everything we humans do and have done on this planet. We created language as a way to attempt to communicate with others, the unseen that we so clearly see in our minds.
My suggestion to you is this… find out what you want. Through that process don’t be afraid to find out what you don’t want.
It is just as valuable as knowing what you do want.
