Life.

It's time to take a stand for all that has mislead us. Time has come for the old to take their seat, and for the new to rise. The new must rise to the challenges we have made too much to bear. The new must overcome them.

We must cast our ignorance aside, borrow in our bones, take what we do have left, and use it. We must recognize our faults, and how they make us only human. Human's with the one and only desire for perfection to the highest marks. In any way possible.

Our doubts have carried us to dark places of the Earth. To circle back, and take what we left while on our leave is our mission. The singular drive to gain what we can possibly conceive in the shortest amount of time gives us the strength to labor our temporary constraints.

The courage we were ungratefully given is only truly admired by a small group of humans. And that small group of humans gives us the tools to ungratefully pass on our unused courage.

We strive for attention. We crave to be different. No matter how much we want to fit in. Nobody wants to be the same, but evermore we find ourselves as monotonous blocks of flesh, with our only purpose to fill the space that was created for us.

We are lectured the stories of love, and learning. We are given the right, and the curse to fill the gaps of expectation that somehow lead us to our lives, and what we are supposed to do with them.

As a group, we learn that we will find another being in the entire vastness of the universe to be with us. To guide us. To help us learn our faults and ways that only make sense to the people who's goal is to make it our weakness.

As a group, we are told to learn, to absorb. We are told that we need it. Learning is our only gift. Our only rite of passage in the world. The only reason to keep on learning. Yet knowledge of what is possible is the only thing that holds us back from our true hopes, and dreams.

Life is the scariest thing we will ever endure.
