sorry for being different.

For the ones who feel out of place, who feel like they don't belong, and the ones who challenge the status quo

Sorry I’m different from everyone.

Sorry I take more time to wake up, when I need more effort to attune to a new day, and I’ve yet to process the last

Sorry I take longer to appreciate the views, I wish to inhale every angle and aspect of this beauty that I don't really get to admire on the daily

Sorry for taking a little slower to enjoy the walks - putting on slow tunes and ponder about the complexities of life - to help me make up for lost time

Sorry for the late responses, my mind runs 20 tabs at once and I feel them crashing all at the same time

Sorry I couldn't complete tasks quickly, or take so long to make a decision - I wish to put my all into them and refuse to settle for less

Sorry I hate chasing for the latest trends, I’d rather sit to create what matters most to me, even if no one really cares for them

Sorry I don't fit the cookie-cutter, I see myself more like free-flowing water

Sorry for not knowing what I want in this lifetime - I have many dreams and I want to embrace all of them one by one - instead of climbing up that ladder rapidly, leaving everything but my vision blurry

What’s the point, really?

I’ve chased in many directions, only to find myself at the same damned spot. Only to get pushed away by a whole lot. I’ve had to learn to detach from the waves, in order to truly understand my pace

Sometimes I wonder if I'm just incompetent - maybe I need a gentle nudge or rough punch - or perhaps I'm just not meant for this hustle rush. At some point all I am is just numb

When all I've learnt my whole life is being quick, this fast-paced world leaves no time to think

Sometimes I wonder what are we chasing for this much? What’s the rush to achieve things so quickly? A certain life template that we have to adhere?

This manmade game with no endpoint but just an endless stretch of never-ending quests?

I just want to live in the moment a little more, to live, love, and play

At the end of the day, we're all gonna leave this whirlwind

And none of this would matter anyway.
