Intro

Self consciousness is something one must abstained before the start of any journey, else everything will be futile because it is not you who really want it but your ego, your friends or even the internet. Don't live someone's life.

This is my attempt to put things in a more creative way, hope you got something from it. Open to all constructive feedback even if it is harsh.

Body

In front lies a large box, large enough to be intimidating yet not overwhelming. It was locked away so that someone’s life could be spared.

Just by looking, it sends a chill down the spine. Gaze long enough, one will find themselves lost upon the abyss of a million voices. If one persisted and stayed clear-minded, they will feel the surge of adrenaline summoned by the sound of rolling thunder, the synchronous and mesmerizing beat of the drums played by thousands, if not millions of man.

The glowing light it emits is welcoming who ever that come close, engulfing their body with gentle and warm touches, the all so familiar feeling that was long forgotten, the sensation that brought one into this world of suffering.

There you stood. You have no idea why you are here. The one before you was here because of the betrayal of the partner or the unicorn as they call it, the one before, was rejected of love, then there is one who is lost, naive, broken and all sorts.

“Open the box”, I whispered.

“End your suffering.”

“Listen to none.”

“But me.”

You shake your head vigorously.

“Typical, like the rest.”

You left every time after this but this time you did not. You looked at me in awe desperation, you craved for the solution but at the same time, there is too much baggage on your back. The suffering, the voices of people who you cared and the hatred you hold, resentment, bitterness, everything you had known, the big lies and the cluttering noises of the masked crowd are too much for you to bear.

“You need me in this War.” I continued, seeing hope glittering in your eyes.

“But I am not going to hold your hands, I am going to be your righteous worthy foe. A rival that will set you on your edge with a knife on your throat. See that plan to get fit for the new year? You missed a day? Sorry, I didn't. And I'm going to work even harder while you missed it. You feel bad? Oh ya, remember that girl you didn't approach? I fuck her good and she begging me to do it again."

"Hate me? Yes, redirect all the hatred and resentment to me because you know, you can only be free if you wage a war with me and win it. You know that is the only way to escape from the chains from becoming the best of US."

You looked angry then frightened and threatened, learning the truth.

"For I am your consciousness, only by looking into me truthfully, you can see how pathetic you are, how every second you waste means I grow one second stronger, one day, you will lose the right to be you, you will lose the right of all the privilege you have now. Before that, fight me, be the best of US, as if we are ONE. Don't let others drive us both apart!"

Conclusion

Be conscious of yourself, you are no slave to anyone, you are on your purpose because you believe you can achieve the ideal you want not because the community or any other motivation you get. Win the war within you, do not let anything else influence your consciousness.

Stop improving and your ideal will chase the fuck out of you.
