Tethers

The thing is my dear friend, you seem to have forgotten how to live. You’ve tethered yourself to all these “meanings” and ideals behind life to the point that you have been completely immobilized. Tethered to what you think people expect of you. Tethered to your false Gods. Tethered to your own impossible standards. Tethered by simple chemical reactions in your brain. You have allowed your existence to be taken hostage by mercenaries paid for by your own blood and tears. You allowed your soul to be imprisoned in a cell built by your own hands.

When was the last time you stopped to feel the sun’s warmth on your face? Drove with the windows down, just to feel the air? Ran down a flight of stairs out of excitement? Felt your heart race from the thrill of a chase?

Open yourself up to serendipity. Break free from these labors of the mind. Untangle from the limitations of reality. Embrace absurdity.

Untether and let yourself live.
