I See You, I Feel You

I SEE YOU, I FEEL YOU.

It’s TIME to step up to embrace all the parts that you hide from YOURSELF and the world.

You see, I know you hide desires from people close to you and friends alike.

I know you bite your tongue to think you are keeping the peace.

I know you people please in the hope that it will be reciprocated in the future.

I know.

Yet suppression is the leading manifestation of Depression.

We are shaped and squished into these perfect little boxes that we paint in society, thing is everyone hates the boxes lol.

If you are a creative then the idea of waking up to an alarm, driving to a building where you sit in a cubicle for 8 hours then go home…

Not to mention the fact that someone else decides whether they give you time off or not…FUCK THAT.

Now I’ve had some pretty dark spots on my entrepreneurial journey to date, wondering what’s the point, shall I give up, get a real job?

Then I think.

Are you INSANE CLIFF?!

Now I’m pretty sure society would label be me insane for the life I live and the path I take yet just because LOTS of people think a certain way, doesn’t make it fact.

I think everyone that goes to work 5 days a week and does 40 hours of a job they give zero fucks for is INSANE.

Literally watching life pass by with every tick of the clock.

Maybe you have been there or maybe you are there.

I’m not a fan of telling people HOW to live, I just chose my path to look this way.

I do ask people often to step back and ask themselves ‘hWy they do what they do’.

The most popular answer…‘I don’t know’

Often people start with goals and visions, over the years they get ground down and they put their soul on a cheese grater each day……..just so they can keep up with society’s expectation of how life should look.

Yet when we zoom out… I see an issue here.

If society, governments and religions have got it all so right…Why is suicide so high?

Why is disease so high?

Why is obesity so high?

Hardly signs of a world that is happy, fulfilled and content.

Now don’t for a moment think I’m saying every entrepreneur is happy, healthy and loving the dream.

Far from it.

All I’m saying that if YOU have unfulfilled desires, goals and dreams, don’t let society judge whether they are a good idea or not.

It’s better to start and realise it’s not for you than to never start and have guaranteed regret.

Many things I have done in life I have come to realise are not for me but how do I know, I gave it a go.

Don’t die with your song still inside you
