What is it today?

Ever wonder if you've gone too far? If you've learned too much (never enough) and you know that you've reached that pivotal point from which there is no turning back? The clock strikes top of the hour, the hour glass empties, all of those seemingly insignificant instances suddenly converge into this one defining moment. And here we are, the point of no return. 

You find yourself alive. Adreneline rushing. The veil lifted from your eyes for the first time and you drown your senses in the truth. Your mind and heart are racing, you want to scream out to the world, grab it in it's entirety and shake it to attention "WAKE UP!".

Then our doubt comes into play. What will they think of us? What will they think of me? Have I now become an enemy of the establishment? What if my friends and family don't believe me? 

Am I all alone?

Fear strikes us down, blinds us and beats us into submission. We alienate ourselves from ourselves and redefine ourselves into these new found perspectives. What direction do we take when we are treading uncharted waters?

And here we are. In our darkest hour, in our brightest moment. Alive. 

We have some choices to make. Do we accept what has been handed to us throughout our lives and believe everything we've ever been told, or we reject the lies, reject the programming, the indoctrination, the systematic repression of our senses and take back our lives?

Do we feed ourselves to the wolves or do we rise up and become a shining star? 

Do we mask our discontent in our fears, or do we embrace the challenges that we face in a beautiful world worth saving?

This culture of illusion must not blind us. We are who we set out to become. We will be the future that we create.
