The Reality That Is

Does one have the ability to break out of this reality? I understand that control and power run through this world. That independent thinkers challenge the higher ups and have the ability to make a ripple in the still lake, but are usually silenced before the rock is thrown. I also understand that we’ve been made to believe (since childhood) about how careers, religions, following in line, dreaming big but not too big, being…being realistic, is the “easiest and right” way to live. But does it have to be this way? No. But on the flip side, how does one go about that? These are not original thoughts. I’m sure many have wondered this earlier today, yesterday, a year ago and a decade ago. The few that figured it out are unknown. Then there are the people that think they’ve made this reality their bitch (which is great, until you are no longer a needed piece on the board or what you thought couldn’t be taken away from you is swept from under your feet). Another thought to this is: what if I’m just crazy? Because how could it be that there are billions of people on this planet and yet most of the population follow by the same rule? The rule of acceptance. Are we that torn down and tired to find another way to live? Are we that afraid or just that complacent? Maybe with the risk of failure paired with the repercussions it holds makes it unworthy of finding to the majority. What if some simply haven’t been introduced to the idea? Or what if this is it? What if this is the only reality we the people are ever going to be able to touch? A girl can wonder, but where she is now seems to have a tight grip on her. So what now?
