Why are people ruled by what they've been?
They fear to reach for more because they've been shot down.
They fear to become the most they can be for fear of the worst they've been.
Why are we so sure that we can't succeed because we've failed before?
Why are we so sure that a person will fail us because we've been let down?
How did our fears come to take our lives over? How did we get to the place where we're afraid to even move? We push others away because we are afraid to lose them...
In recent restrictions I have come upon, I've found a sense of freedom. I had mired myself in stale waters and stopped living for what I wanted and believed in for the sake of familiarity. Now that I've been removed from those waters, even just a little bit, I can move around. I can start changing and stop fearing myself and the abandonment of others.
So I now have this hope. This hope that I can stop being comfortable and start being better. This hope that even when the road is rocky I can stumble and keep moving. So, I'll make this toast to the betterment of self. And when the morning comes, may we be found better people.
