Carving Out My Niche


Its not surprising to see that people in this day in age are always confused. Shit, I am normally confused for half of my day. I still don't know what I want to do with my life. Where is it that I am going to end up?
It's become obvious to me that we are all one and the same when it comes to where we originate, but that should not be misunderstood to state that everyone is the same and we must all think alike and are going to end up how we hope to end up. Its more along the lines of things happening for a reason regardless of how we feel about them personally. If things are to be, then they will be but they will be on life's terms and not mine, yours or ours.
I don't know why I feels so alive, Actually that's not true, yes I do know or at least I feel I do. I am feel alive because I am alive and I am content and connected to life. I don't feel the need to do something exciting to feel that I am living. I am that feeling, and I bring it with me to all my endeavors. I never thought I would be the person I am today. Never in one hundred years could I envision myself at this point and time to be how I have become. I see now that I have some say in my destiny but like the great plateau's of stone that were once the Grand Canyon, I am exposed and at the mercy of the flow of life. It cuts grooves into my being and helps shape the person that I am becoming. I only hope that when it is all said and done, the final result will be as majestic as the Canyon the Colorado helped shape.

I think that one of our problems is that we often assess ourselves (our goals, accomplishments, failures, etc.) based on other people's attributes and what THEY bring to table. True; at the end of the day, we're ALL human. But our life paths are as varying as the people.

Frankly, I'm glad that's how the world works. Imagine how boring it would be if every crayon in the box was the same color...

Very true Dre.


On a side note, I need to clean up my writing, It doesnt flow as smoothly as the Colorado.
