Have you ever felt hopeless enough that the whole world seemed like an empty shell full of lies and despair?
Gotcha! I had this made up concept of the world ‘cause many stories made me start to believe that it really was like that. I surely doubted about every positive feeling one could have towards another. Everything seemed a charade, a merely made up lie that would swallow even the brightest of souls. I was once a pure child, innocent enough to think that love could overcome the greatest of difficulties. Well, it was just a boy with an intact heart dreaming reality wouldn’t be anything he couldn’t handle, but as you might be thinking by now, things weren’t bright for his road. Every single dream he held on to crumbled right before his eyes, where was this tragic façade leading to? Hopelessness, faithlessness, scepticism.
One thing mankind cannot live without is faith. It doesn’t really matter what you believe in, as long as you believe with full conviction. I write this today with renewed hope, renewed faith, and a departed scepticism ‘cause someone remembered me how to believe. I saw how I used to think and act according to the strongest and greatest ideals I have ever had. It was amusing to feel that way, to actually see in another person how I used to think, love, and be...
To say to the whole world “Fuck you, I don’t care if you think I’m a full fledged idiot, you’re stupid and never felt this way, suck it!” and stay sure of myself a hundred per cent. I suppose ignoring all my experiences is not such a good idea but hey, who cares, right? If I get screwed again for a year and a half over some little girl who fucked up my entire life, at least I won’t regret not having given myself a chance to feel that way. “Just be receptive to the world”, I always said that to my friends and having lost it some day on the road, here I am to claim myself from the depths of memory and all the sweetie bullshit that only poets describe as a gift from life, The Blessing Of Fools.
