Answers aren’t always easy, but the seeking still matters for only by reaching can we get closer to the sky. Because how in so big a world, could we ever know enough?
It’s laughable, at times, the way I like to think I have them all. Ego is a powerful force, driving stakes into speech that could have been kind but instead becomes condescending. Problems caused, issues unresolved despite knowing the solution, choosing to walk away from what’s right because it would mean acknowledging my own foolishness and flaws, the ones that I bank my identity on not having. It doesn’t matter that I know I know how to improve. What’s the point of facing something new when you could shut yourself to the path forward and stay in what you know, what you think you know, because at least you’re familiar with it? People let down, opportunities missed, tasks delayed, work incomplete, finances strained, growth and progress ignored and yet still yearned for–all because I think I have all the answers.
