Life is a surrealistic enigma.
The definition of surreal is: "Having the qualities of surrealism; bizarre" The definition of enigma is: "A person or thing that is mysterious, puzzling, or difficult to understand." Does this not explain life? Most of us have no idea what to do when it comes to our lives. Choosing which path to take can be mysterious, puzzling, or difficult to understand. Some may even find it bizarre. In my experience, the lows have outnumbered the highs. Anxiety. The feeling of the world on your shoulders. Suffocating you every second of every day. Finding the strength to take another breath. Your mind is your own worst enemy. Unable to determine reality from fantasy Determining reality from fantasy is subjective, to say the least. Being called odd or strange because of your beliefs Forced to take medication to keep you "stable" People simply don't understand your mind Forced to look a certain way Act a certain way Work a certain way Because of societal expectations, The idealistic version of adulthood and responsibilities. We are imprisoned Freedom of expression is limited. Putting together a front for society to accept. All while trying to keep to your authentic self. It's exhausting.
