I don’t wear my heart on my sleeve I wear it on a chain around my neck, visible but well protected.

Dear Anonymous,

It’s time for you to live your life.  Time to stop searching for meaning to justify your mortality.  Be justified in everything you do and say.  You don’t have to prove your worth to live because you’re already alive.  Yes, we all die, but doesn’t that just make life that much more valuable?  In fear you hide behind others or a virtual filter to stay connected, but in doing so you’re losing the connection with yourself which renders the rest obsolete.  Live to grow, live to progress for the progression of one man aids in the progression of all.  We are cells on the back of the infinitely large creature that is our universe.  We are aware of it.  Live for yourself.  Live knowing that society will always be one step behind you, not ahead.  It is the lumbering giant and you need to move fast or you will be its prey.  The only person you can never avoid is yourself so you better do what it takes to make you happy.  As long as you’re not jeopardizing the happiness of others there are no limitations to accomplishing this.  Be fearless in your journey.  All broken hearts will mend as long as you learn from your failures for they are the strongest of stitches.  Take chances for they are the cure for regret.  Challenge yourself enough to learn but not so much that you burn yourself out.  Know your limitations and always test them for they will change.  Life is all give and take, it’s up to you to find the balance.  And never forget to be patient, no one can control time but everything relies on it.

Sincerely,
Anonymous

My mind has been running rampant and the only way to tame the beast is to sedate it.

My conscious self has a death wish while my primal self has an unbreakable will to live.  Years ago I did not realize this as I began to see the world as a puzzle filled with broken pieces that could never be put back together.  At that point my mind attempted a proverbial suicide and was lost.  In 2011 I had a conscious awakening or rebirth.  Having matured enough to see that those pieces were not broken, some were just missing and I was beginning to find them in the dark crevasses of my mind that I had since not dared to go.  The disconnect I had once felt with the world has weakened though I know not if it will break or just continue to bend until my untimely death.  Until then I must go on exploring in an attempt to find as many lost pieces of the world as I am capable.

One of man’s greatest mistakes was trying to define worth.
