insecurities

forever behind –
only dreams keep me alive –
always catching up.

A/N: Don’t follow others’ paths because they are achieving great things in their life. Follow your own path. Carve your own identity. Every individual is different, and what works for one person doesn’t necessarily work for another.

For me, I always feel a bit… “behind”, if you can say, or “slow”… hanging out with my friends because I’m not aware of so many types of slang or the most popular events at school. In many ways, I feel like I’m always playing catch up since I never fit in the first place.

So, sometimes, it is difficult to remind myself that I don’t need to be like them in order to be happy. But it’s something that I try to tell myself every morning or whenever I start feeling insecure.

In the end, you aren’t living your life for others. Or to be like others.

You’re living your life for yourself.

And I think that’s always important to remember.

Everyone, fighting!
