I Wanted More

I became the villain when I refused to no longer let the stagnation of the people in my inner circle inhibit my desire for something more.

Realizing my growing discontent in my current situation created a barrier between staying in touch and breaking old habits.

Learning that growth does not come without fear, discomfort, and the recognition of your self-worth.

I became the villain when I began to choose myself first and prioritizing progress over avoidable distractions.

Putting my own needs above those of others was viewed as selfish, inconsiderate, and a complete deviation from the status quo.

Holding myself to a high standard and constant improvement unintentionally offended those who successfully met their goals and are satisfied with their current situation.

I became the villain when I decided that I needed a drastic change in order to rehabilitate my emotional well-being.

Moving on to new things does not take away from the lessons and sense of direction that have been generated from previous experiences.

Taking microscopic and overanalyzed steps to become the person I increasingly fantasize about has become completely ineffective.

My desire for more does not lessen or degrade the battles others have endured.

My desire for more comes solely from a goal to create a life for myself that I am proud of.

My desire for more is nothing other than an extension of the path necessary to reach my own inner peace.
