I\u2019m not saying I\u2019m useless, what I\u2019m saying is I\u2019m full of ambivalence. It\u2019s a disease, an infection. See, it\u2019s like photography, you don\u2019t know what will develop, until you take the photo. But take it with confidence, take it because you\u2019ve seen something so beautiful you want to capture its pureness at its essence, take it because you appreciate its mundane but extraordinary features, or take it because you really don\u2019t know what will happen; the danger, the opportunities, the love, the life. It\u2019s quite difficult, I know, because the leap is massive, well perhaps not, but it\u2019s a leap. I\u2019m not trying to be dire, believe me, I\u2019m trying to stay as optimistic as possible, it\u2019s tough. History will always reinforce your doubts, and that\u2019s common, but history can\u2019t predict the outcome, and that\u2019s the beauty of it all.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m a very reluctant person, especially when it comes to new adventures, because I don\u2019t want to disappoint anyone. It\u2019s probably empathy, or the lack of communication with people, I know that may seem like a contradiction but it\u2019s the truth. I usually distant myself because I don\u2019t want to be a burden to anyone. It\u2019s quite a mystery; the life, the love, the struggle, but when in doubt, pray. I really want to be positive, especially what\u2019s blooming, and quite frankly, I don\u2019t know what it is, but I hope it\u2019s not bad, for you. I hope I can be efficient and wholesome, and, well, I hope I won\u2019t be a burden. Indeed, this might be my most cryptic and vague post yet; full of metaphors and uncertainty. Although, I am certain for one thing, that it\u2019s genuine. Perhaps we\u2019ll find out later, or not, but I enjoyed every minute. And with every minute is a new memory. Thank you. <\/p>\n<p>Until next time, safe travels. <\/p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player?url=https%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F133599195&player_height=&player_height_multi=&player_width=&player_type=visual&color=&auto_play=&show_comments=&show_user=&buying=&sharing=&download=&show_artwork=&show_playcount=&hide_related=\"><\/iframe>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ultimately, I don\u2019t want to be a burden.
