The ties that bind

I watched people today, not in the stalker sense...all my subjects were clothed and merely going about their daily tedium. It made me think, do these people take comfort in their routine or are they trapped. Many, many people will go through life with an unwavering pattern, Wake up, wash, eat, work, eat, work, wash, eat, sleep. These routines are seldom broken by social activity or spontaneous adventure, where did they lose the craving for something different, something better? 
People seem to put their hopes in the improbably, wishing for a better life that they never truly strive toward, buying a lottery ticket every week is not going to save you from your self inflicted misery, aspire to greatness, aspire to adventure and seize your dreams.

I refuse to chain myself down with the daily grind, my happiness comes first, I will not give up my dreams for anybody else and I will not mimic the mistakes of those around me. Life must be met head on, I never did back down from a challenge and I refuse to let life pass me by and stand on the sidelines, taking comfort in the security of a tired old 9-5 life is not for me. I would throw away all I have, to get to where I want to be, I will not miss my opportunities and I will not allow others to tear me away from them, ultimately I know I will have what I seek, I will find my happiness, even if I must endure the weight of misery, I will not let fear of the unknown stop me.
