Being Alone is a Choice.

Being alone is a choice.

A choice I didn’t even know I was making.

Was it more heroic?
To take on life, headfirst, without help?
To say “I DID THIS, NO ONE ELSE!”

To be honest,
In hindsight,
It was pretty selfish.

To put myself on a pedestal,
To claim I was the one who was “chosen to do it alone,”
Like it was some kind of fucking honor?

Solitude can make you slightly insane.

As an Artist,
Half of the reason we create,
(Maybe more)
Is to connect.

To ourselves.
To others.
To our purpose.
To our divinity.

We cannot get to our highest level, alone.
We cannot create our life’s work, alone.
We cannot pursue greatness, without being surrounded by it.

It’s our choice to ascend.
