You're not a tree

Mediocrity is a common thing we thrust upon us because we sometimes forget what we deserve and settle for what's in front of us.

We refuse to take the road less traveled because of the fear of the unknown. We follow where everyone is going for the guarantee that if it doesn't work, there will be a lot of us falling into the trap. We are all so scared of being alone that's why we walk in packs.

I mean, yes, sometimes it's okay but the sense of dependency will grow within us and once it's there, it's flipping hard to take off. And when one of us gets stuck, we all get stuck like trees in a forest and all we can do is watch an eagle sore high.

By "being alone", I don't mean that we should cut people off our lives. I'm saying we should not let them decide for us. We shouldn't be too dependent on them. We shouldn't settle for what they have settled for because it sounds easier and safer.

Being alone gives us more reason to strive harder, to develop a sense of direction and to be more independent. 

Being alone makes us feel in control of our lives.

Being alone is scary but it gives you the freedom to choose which path to take. 

Being alone will take you places.

So don't be one of those trees. Be your own eagle.
