Reality

As you grow older you start to realise the world isn’t as you always pictured it through the bedtime stories your parents read to you.. all the bullshit you were fed through fairy tales trying to convince you every story has a happy fucking ending.. Trying to push the idea of the knight in shiny armour coming to sweep you off your feet, causing you to grow with a romanticised crappy misconception of reality which will just blow up in your face when you enter adulthood..
Truthfully, life is full of bullshit and hardships.. Reality hits you hard and fast, closely after you turn 18.. It's up to you now.. No one is going to tuck in safely at night and kiss you goodnight, no on will be there to wipe away you tears.. No one will help you find your road.. You learn to be your own saviour to survive in the ocean of sharks you've been thrown in.. In today's society it's survival of the fittest..
Living in a society that hurries to put a label on you, gay, lesbian, ugly, pretty, fat, thin, tall, short, rich, poor. An unaccepting society, that promotes money, social status and good looks.. Hollow people, rotten on the inside.. That social elite everyone wants to be like.. Those promoted role models of stick thin anorexics with high fashion clothes that make little girls around the world go through exhausting diets and spend all their time and effort trying to imitate what most have labelled as beautiful..
Most people waste so much effort, trying to fit in with the norm.. Being different is as bad as having the bloody plague.. You have to belong into the mainstream society in order to be socially acceptable..
No one sees that in reality, we are all misfits among misfits, most of us struggling to hide our true self, instead of trying to find our true colours and let them shine, as we are all perfect in our own imperfections.. Imperfection is beauty, it is reality, being different and unique it is what separates us from a herd of sheep..
 people are like stars..there are so many of them, side by side, crowded together, yet so alone..all shining differently..others shining brightly..blinding you with their light, disguising the hollowness..others shining weaker.. all shining differently.. At the end of the day, we still look to see if they shine, judging the book as always by it's cover, we have forgotten how to appreciate the beauty of the soul..

This is the world you are entering as an adult.. You start to think materialistically and forget the value of the simple things in life, which are most important.. A kiss from someone you love, a hug, a good friend, falling in love, the fresh air on your face, the endless ocean in front of your eyes.. You get lost as everyone else in the everyday struggle.. You set your dreams and try to achieve them.. You work hard and earn nothing.. Yeah, that's reality, but you still have a choice.. to make your impact, to make your difference no matter how small..
the world is yours to conquer….the only advice to give would be to let go of your safety net and jump..just jump..you may land on your feet or you may fall on your ass..but it’s your choice to get up and keep trying or give up..they say life is like a roller coaster..and i couldn’t agree more..you can either close your eyes and wait for it to be over..or throw your hands in the air and enjoy it..
YOUR CHOICE..
No matter what crap comes you way, no matter how many times you get knocked down.. Get up and fight.. Fight to live the life you want, and not the life others want..

“To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all.”, as Oscar Wilde said.. Life is a gift you've been given, not a chore you must do..

Choose to live..every moment to it's fullest..be stupid.. be crazy, insane amongst all the insanity that surrounds you..because there is always going to be pain..but in the end you can’t have a rainbow without a little rain..
