Was it really so long ago that you used to be alright?
It seems like only yesterday you had a plan; not an all-encapsulating plan, but a general idea. You knew what you wanted to experience in this world, and you knew how you were going to do it.
But slowly things changed - and with them, your plans. You sat and watched helplessly as the simple joys were removed from your life. You were conditioned by those above you to a stable life. Slower and more calculated, you moved at a “better” pace.
Quietly, you redefined your ideas of happiness to fit the life you were told you wanted to live. But the slight pause when you say, “I’m happy,” and the sad, lost look in your eye make it clear; this is not how you had hoped for it to be.
You used to be alright. What happened?
