Realizations and Inspiration

i came to an interesting realization tonight...
when we begin to focus on what we think is important to others we let parts of ourselves starve. die off. be forgotten. we think that what is important to us is not important to others.
when we let our minds entertain that thought we start to see less value in those very things that hold a great significance to who we are...
we begin to lose ourselves.
our whole meaning begins to change. your identity gets erased and forgotten. no one sees it or knows it but you. (even you don't notice it alot of times.) your true self begins to only exist in your subconscious.
existing only in your dreams and memories.
you feel like you are missing something. like you forgot something at home. you are trying to find it, but all you hear is echoes. so you keep going.
you don't notice it at all. at least not for a while...
not until you come to a pivotal point in your life.
one of those defining points.
this is the point where you realize that the only way to make any progress is to go back to those things that you have so unnoticeably forgotten and neglected.
you need it. your life can not move forward until you return to who you really are.
until you start taking interest in YOUR interests. you have become so wrapped up in focusing on OTHER things that may or may not have any significance to you, but for whatever reason they have caused you to neglect your passions and heart.
that's a big reason i feel like i am here right now.
after two years of silence here, i have returned.
