Reminisce & Onwards
Sitting around a group of people, I found my mind blank. No words to use, no stories to tell, no one I could connect with. You know how they say that you can feel most alone in a crowd, I've experienced that countless number of times. But when alone, I find myself full of thoughts, ideas, speculations on life and ever so often I think of God.
A friend moves onwards while I seem to remain stagnant. I feel it is not yet my time but I do wonder if I've missed the opportunity that was placed in front of me. Does keeping promises really matter? Do people really matter more than an individual's dream? What about those who say that you must chase your dream and keep at it in order for it to be fulfilled? Does that include putting aside everything else? Does the end really justify the means?
Looking at passer-bys and their seemingly carefree existence, I feel as though I do wish to be like them. Ironically, in a sadistic sort of way, I am glad that I am a thinker rather than just a body or form carried along by the waves of life. A friend once proclaimed "I WILL NOT BE MEDIOCRE" and I realised then that THAT IS my goal.

bro, you are already on your way out of mediocrity. it's not beyond your ability to get into that top 10th percentile, but think about whether that really makes you happy. earning an average wage might make you feel mediocre, but earning bazillions does not make you feel all that special if you're hollow inside. i gave myself that goal when i was feeling like i had to prove something to myself. although i'm not there yet, i'm beginning to realise that the things that make us different do not have to be material. some of those rich guys that we aim to be are really average mofos when you get to talking with them. they've got the same problems as us, and they equally f***up their personal lives like us thinkers often do. they may have extraodinary careers, but i think most of them lead mediocre lives. and it makes you wonder if they are happy with what they have. keep your eye on the prize, but remember there are other ways to set yourself apart from the man-in-the-street.
