but why must we persevere

why do we say we’re put here for a reason

that persisting is a necessity like breath like food

and if we give it up no longer drive forward we are somehow

not doing our work of believing or holding faith or keeping hope

alive

bullshit I say. I no longer believe. I made this choice just this morning.

It does not mean I quit going forward, it just means I quit going forward

as if looking out for a miracle

or a Man with a Beard reaching out His Hand to save me.

Power, is in my own two hands. And if life takes one from me,

I hold my own one, still going

on.

Just me. Self actualization I think, I’m not sure, perhaps I’ll have to put my faith in that, and do some research.
