Do we remain loyal and true to our loved ones or do are we loyal and true to ourselves??? It used to be easy to answer this question... real easy... but as we moved on with our lives, we not only have become more accommodating to the ones around us, we have forgotten to listen to our inner voices... We no longer know what we really want... what truly makes us happy... it has come to a stage where we are chasing false ideals and dreams of grandeur painted by marketing whiz kids... when was the last time your genuinely laughed??? When was the last time you were happy just being yourself???
Question is, can we even look into the mirror and recognize the reflection??? Or are we cheap knockoffs of who we used to be???
This charade has gone on long enough and I realise that I have not been doing myself justice... but what I am doing is a neccessary evil... I have forsaken my ideals and dreams for slivers of paper in my wallet... I have replaced friends with business contacts... I left my family to climb up towards a glass ceiling... Nothing I have is real anymore... I don't even recognise myself when I look at old pictures... I no longer derive joy from the things I do... I no longer enjoy the food I taste... I am no longer who I used to be... Is it too late to turn back???
