Extremely Far

Extremely Far

It begins with a fire lit in your soul. Raw emotion and heavy-weight dreams, ready to walk barefoot over coals through the fire. With a mind of a fighter and a tenacious soul of hungry poverty.

You underestimate how hard it is. A few whiplashes scars your spirit.

The way will likely be challenging, failures many.

From the view below, those above seem to attain it all. And you can't help but feel envy. But the ego won't admit it. Only you and your shadow self know. Only you and the self know what suffering is about.

No such thing as peace of mind. There is only peace from mind.

The craving for self-validation swells. Fear plagues and self-doubt lingers.

If there's one thing you learnt, the gods don't answer when resistance is at its strongest.

You accept no apologies; the intensity increases even when enthusiasm fades. Late nights, early rises, rejections, and worst odds.

Your family cannot relate to you. Your friends don't understand you. You become more isolated. Turning every stone to see where the answer lies. Monomonically focused on answers with more and more clarity gained. Evaluating every thought and all possibilities.

Widening the search and the self. Abandoning most worldly behavior.

A failure. Another try. Another failure. Finding alternative routes to roadblocks.

The face hardens. The mind becomes singular. The spirit toughens, self lessens, awareness strengthens, seriousness intensifies.

Extreme Emerges.
