I was never much of a believer in the supernatural, but a part of me always knew that I was meant for much more than mundanity. Mundanity mechanizes the creation and destruction of normalcy, leaving only the deviation and bones of the repetition. It seems the world has a bad taste for divergence.

I wonder if I would have lived my life differently if I had known that it never really ends. Or if I would have still followed deadlines so religiously if I knew that the universe didn't function on this enigmatic figment of human creation. If I knew that time was cyclical, not linear. I wonder if I would have still had the will to dream if I knew that dreams are just recycled pieces of memories no longer serving a purpose. That they become the brush that clouds the purposeful and refined mind, a mind that fuels itself on inhibition and self doubt. The mind is a forest that simultaneously creates and destroys; the detritus nourishes the soil that brings about growth.

I can't pay mind to my failings of the past. It doesn't matter. Now my eyes are open.
