Observation

Is this a mask? I don't think so. I think it's a face. I think it's what remains when we forsake our true selves in pursuit of the ultimate prize. I experienced a very painful manifestation of this truth only a month ago - a life changing lesson that will remain in my being forever. I am grateful to receive a powerful confirmation here: it is not the ultimate prize. Even as I grasp it, my true self will look upon me, fervently awaiting my return. Thankfully, I haven't gotten out of reach.

Response 1

That which is out of reach doesn't exist. Let's fucking go.

Response 2

Trust me I get it, but you will never be them. You *must* only be you. And let that be liberating. After all, if you're them, you can only be as great as them. Why not be greater?

Response 3

Remember that the outlet requires her own power source too. I challenge you to use this opportunity to figure out how to give back to the grid, so that she may in turn give back to you.

Revision

Nobody else observed the surreal floating face. Perhaps nobody else will ever know the barest version of me. A virtue still.
