So I'm up. Thinking and feeling this unsettling feeling of how I'm not made for this place. It's comfortable, but doesn't feel mine. I want, I need to be in a bigger, better place. Ever since I was a child (who grew up in a teeny tiny town), I've always known I'm made for a bigger place(outside this country), and now that I've grown up and moved to a bigger city(in the same country, unfortunately) I can't help but feel this dread of not being able to ever experience the life I wanted. I've grown up watching all these shows on disney and HBO and everything that showed me what life outside my country is like, and I've wanted nothing more than to experience it. But what if I never get to do it? I'm in my mid twenties already. I need neeeed to experience that life. I'm filled with this dread, but also there's something calling to me. I know in my gut that I'm made for bigger things and that this is not it. I'm waiting for things to fall into place for me. I hope one day I come back and look at this post and comment "I made it".

I left for a while to go on a study abroad experience. The more time passes after The Thing, the less life makes sense. I'm trying to get back to the people I used to know, to get back into the routine I had, the things I used to think. But somehow EVERYTHING about and around me is different and I don't understand ANYTHING. My body is different, my time isn't the same and somehow even my thought process has changed. I came back home expecting familiarity and warmth, and surprise, the world has obviously moved on (as I did) and nothing is the same, except all that is. Maybe not understanding everything I thought I had already integrated is part of growing up, I feel as if I'm shedding old skin to make room for new one, but it doesn't change the fact that I'm scared, confused, and generally don't really get the concept of time passing. I never used to get when people said they wanted the world to stop for a second, because that wasn't me, I wanted more, faster, more, all of it. Now I get it. Let me lay here for a moment and not think about anything. ☆lookaliveodette!!!!!!☆

A few days ago, I had the beautiful opportunity of having a short animated film I made screened at a festival. I felt so happy, like my whole body was smiling. I was deeply moved to reconnect with several artists from around the world. I want to fulfill dreams. I want to be kind. I want to inspire and express myself. I want to look back and thank myself for believing I could create beautiful things. I don’t want to lose this feeling of wanting to dream. I’m afraid my soul might disintegrate in my 9-hour-a-day job in a grey office. I’m afraid of fear itself, or of being affected by things that don’t belong to me. I want to keep believing there’s something more.

the life i so desperately want to live, moving city to city working odd jobs and writing and experiencing the full spectrum of the human condition, if only i was not so thoroughly enslaved by my relatively comfortable and privileged environment. Hopefully one day a straw will break my camel’s back and I‘ll quit my job and point my thumb down the highway or find an empty boxcar to ride far away, but realistically i will keep running in the rat race because i am inherently terrified to take such leaps of faith

Idk what it is about this app, either people are actually good at expressing themselves and their thoughts through words (which I can't for the life of me do), or maybe it's just this app with its font and the looks that makes every post here look poetic and captivating or something deeply intelligent lol
