So are the days of our lives
Living down memory lane
Taking my own lane
Prioritising my sanity
Realizing that it was all vanity
Squeezing myself into places I don't belong,
Was like hitting a gong expecting it not to make any noise
Deep down the inner voice had to make the sound
It had to show me what I was not seeing
Life is too short for you to try and be who you are not
It is too short to brag
Too short to boast
Too short to suffer
Too short not to embrace your uniqueness
Too short to spend time trying to pursue perfection
Time wasted on pursuit for perfection should have been used
in perfecting yourself
Your own craft
Your own stance
Because where you stand is where you are the strongest
Every situation you are currently in is a reason not to fail
The true strength comes in realizing that like sands in an hourglass
So are the days of our lives
Therefore use them wisely
Bring out the best version of you the world has never seen
For you are capable of anything if you put your mind into it.
