about this story
It's often easier to be part of a crowd, to feel accepted and connected, but it is frequently during the silent moments of renewal when I rise above the temptation to seek approval or affirmation that I feel most at peace and least alone.
The yearning to find one's own truth can dominate life, pushing trivial and distracting elements to the background, thereby providing a greater clarity and sense of purpose. Release is provided by beauty and the presence of kindred spirits now so readily apparent, yet remaining invisible to others.
There are always choices to be made, and the path frequently appears steep and divided, with the skeletons of betrayals and abandoned dreams and ideals littered along the way. But with the choices come decisions, and all that can be seen are opportunities, not hurdles.
Sometimes balance seems impossible, surrounded by demands, distractions and expectations. But there is strength to silence the whispering doubts and to unearth the 'soul peace' that comes with knowing that the path is ultimately of one's choosing.
And at the end of the day, the sense of invigoration provided from marching to the sound of a different drummer sates the senses and provides sustenance. Consensus is never so sweet.
