“Backwards.”

 It’s strange but it seems like I might be the only thing that’s changing in my life right now.

Or I could try something new. Something that I’ve never done before. I could find the places in the world where no one has gone, and become the person that no one knows I am. I could become someone I don’t recognize, and for all the right reasons. I could stop hiding from what I don’t know and accept what I can’t change about myself and the world I live in… and then I can find the places and the people that reflect the man that I’ve always wanted to be.

I can let go of the past and grow forwards. I can accept up as place to get to. I can accept my downs as flaws and try something that works for me, and I can get good with the idea that there’s no one else here but me.

Take that stranger. You’ll never really know me, or what you missed when you thought you had me by the throat.
