This book is a collection of rants, opinions, and observations on random subjects that I scribbled while running away from and toward my true self.

I hope my words can show others that there is life after years of breaking rocks on society's conformity chain gang and that real empowerment is being yourself and not what others tell you that you should be. You cannot sit and read the book of your life as it unfolds. You must write the next page yourself. That is the way to growth and to peace and yes, you can be homesick for places you have never been.

Book description by my Inner voice: This is a chunk of at times incoherent ramblings on life and people one meets as they wander aimlessly on the internet and through the so-called real world... a shambolic, circumlocutious clustershtuck of a sometimes crap-infused, possibly drug-fuelled word salad.

One life. Just one.

Why aren't we running like we are on fire towards our wildest dreams?

—Unknown Author

It is true that if you want to know where you will be in five years, you just need to look at where your friends are right now. I knew I was stuck, and it was time to start looking at the people I associated with.

It’s very queer the way your friends and others closest to you will try to talk you out of doing things that might change your world and, more importantly (to them), take you out of theirs. They don’t want you going for your dreams because they have long since given up on theirs. They want you staying right where you are. They don’t want you leaving the bubble and going to another bubble they cannot go to because they are afraid to follow you there. It would mean they have to take chances. They clutch their pearls and fret about what the neighbours, their friends, their family, and society might think. So, they settle for the bubble they are in. You should never settle for anything less than what you deserve. Friendly reminder: the only person you should allow to judge you and the only person you should give your power to is you.

I was surrounded by zombies who were dissatisfied with their lives but were willing to settle, even if it meant being absolutely miserable. I decided to grab some courage and be me. This time, when I met resistance from my friends, instead of caving in and going along to get along with their predictions that my dreams would bring about certain doom, abject failure, humiliation, and the end of my life as I knew it, I stood my ground.
