Titanium

 

Life has a way of going in circles, do you ever notice that? I mean, why cant it just be this road where you only go forward? We'd always know where we were going, we'd always be able to move on and leave everything else behind. There would be nothing but the present and the future ahead of us. But that doesn't seem very practical, now does it? What really ends up happening, is you end up right back to where you started.

You see when you try and move ahead, you end up taking a step back. We carry everything with us and the weight is exhausting us until we want to collapse and give up. There are concrete blocks sitting on our shoulders and a toxic fluid streaming through us, eating us alive.

We forget things we try to remember. We remember things we'd rather forget. The most frightening thing about memory is that it leaves us no choice. You cannot run from a memory. That memory is a part of you, whether it be good or bad, its the glue to your foundation. And your foundation is your past. We need it. Without it, what guidance would we have?

Our past is just as important as our future, and we all seem to forget that. Sometimes we forget to remind ourselves that is not where we're going, but rather where we've been. Its so easy to give up. Anyone can do it. But when the stitching comes undone, and the cracks begin to show, everyone expects you to do just that. Fall apart and give up. Well, I say fuck that. Why? Because after a while all those memories and heartaches turn into something else. So wear your scars with pride and embrace those cracks in your foundation.You accept the past. You live in the present. And you keep building for the future. When you can do that...now that's strength nobody can touch.

You have just become titanium.
