Close your eyes. They will not help you. There are times in life when you pull your gaurd up so high that your pride becomes your weapon. So much that you cant let anyone in. If you do, they will see you. And see you for what you are. In that case you just have to ask; what are you? In highschool they have you take a class on future career goals. You write them down on a litte worksheet and hand it in the next day. If you cant even do that then I suppose you deserve to fail the class in a way.
there are times when people trust only what is infront of them, what they physically see, never able to understand that there is so much more to life as soon as you close your eyes.
Physically speaking we close off one sense to experience something delicate with our other senses. For example taste is one of the very senses that when something is so good you close your eyes. Ever have a steak that did that? And vegans wonder why people think they are unhappy with life.
For the past few days my neck has been swollen. Ive been upset about it. I look in the mirror and I see my fate, I see myself with a swollen neck twenty something years later. Only its cancer and not a bacterial infection. But then I close my eyes. I inhale. Then I exhale. And in that moment of one breath it seems like the whole dynamic of the world around me stands still for a moment. I have all the time in the world to solve the one problem that arose from me looking in a mirror and trying to guess what I will become in the next twenty something years. Its alright to have somewhat of an idea of what you're going to do in the future. Infact I would implore you to do so. But its pride whom is ready to cut you down while youre falling.
