The Awkward Manifesto

Life is constituted of awkward moments
linked by long periods of sleep.

These moments are the grains of human experience
that give birth to the beauty and knowledge of living.

People are too willing to anaesthetise their interactions with one another
to put a lens between themselves and life that filters out the rough edges.

Have you ever been more aware of your entire being
than when you wanted to be the least?

Those are the moments that color you, those are the things you remember.
They are the glimpses of bare reality that you should learn to treasure and seek out.

I ask you all, please go out. Put yourself in discomforts way. Engage for goodness' sake. It might feel like it's killing your soul, but without it you will be soulless.
