Closer Than You Thought

Trust your compass... the path unfolds when you move.

Critics are not always wrong, and you are not always right.

But listen… don’t let yourself be molded to fit a life you never truly aligned with.

Regain agency over your choices.

Question things, and use discernment.

But balance a caring, careful eye

with a curious, open-minded question mark.

Less filters, more raw sight.

Seeing reality as it is, and as it can be.

Potential as paint,

and the brush in your hand to paint with your flare, your style.

Once you decide, go.

Go with all of you.

Possibility is limitless, but do not get caught up there…

Go, paint, improvise along the way.

You may not see the masterpiece as it’s being painted, but rest assured…

20/20 vision will reveal what you always intuited along the path.

You’ll have moments on the way,

an astronaut experiencing the world he lives on from miles above.

Just like you, seeing your life from above.

And there, you’ll be reminded…

How perfect you really are.

And… closer than you thought.
