I've pictured this fantasy so many times.
This is what Normal people do when they're happy.
Get married, start a family,
surround themselves with people they love,
with people that love them.
-
Nobody is as perfect as they seem.
-
No one can't be that happy.
Everyone has a secret.
People are always hiding something:
their vulnerabilities, their fears, their shame,
No matter how happy someone looks.
Everyone has a monster.
-
You are the mastermind.
-
Just a guy trying to play God without permission.
-
What if changing the world is just about being here?
by showing up no matter what how many times we get told we don't belong,
by staying true even when we're shamed into being false, by believing in ourselves even when we're told we're too different?
And if well held onto that, if we refuse to budge and fall in line, if we stood our ground for long enough,
just maybe,
The world can't help but change around us.
