SAME FANANA

I’VE REALISED SOMETHING IRONIC: WHILE I CLAIM NOT TO FOLLOW CONVENTION, I’VE BEEN TRYING TO DO EXACTLY THAT. I SEE A PATH FORWARD FOR MYSELF, BUT I HAVEN’T ACTED ON IT BECAUSE I’VE BEEN FIXATED ON FINDING PRECEDENT—LOOKING FOR SOMEONE WHO HAS WALKED A SIMILAR PATH TO GUIDE ME.

IN DOING SO, I’VE BEEN HOLDING MYSELF BACK, RELYING ON THE IDEA THAT SOMEONE ELSE’S EXPERIENCE CAN VALIDATE MY OWN. YET THIS DEPENDENCE ON PRECEDENT HAS PREVENTED ME FROM EMBRACING THE UNKNOWN AND DISCOVERING MY WAY FOR MYSELF.
