dissonance
tonight, i am up late. thats not really anything new. i tend to be more on the insomniac side of things. however, something in particular has been stirring in my brain, something thats been brewing for awhile now and is trying to birth itself into a concrete, abstract concept. (unlikely i know)
the melody of dissonance is playing its tune over and over again in my brain. i just looked at, checked up on, read about the lives of folks that i once shared nearly everything in common with. we went to the same classes together, watched films, spent time talking, discussing, debating over dinners. these are people that i invested time in and they in me. they were great times that we had together. in many ways, we shared such a common experience, not just the times highlighted but a background that was similar, growing up in small towns, having close-knit communities that we were allowed to explore and grow and adventure in. and now i look at the paths that we have chosen. and they are completely different, diametrically opposed even. the dissonance rings like a raging coldplay chorus in my brain.
its not necessarily a bad thing though. its not bad or worse or better or equal. these terms are insufficient. its just different. whilst the growing pains of striking out on my own have not been easy, i wonder what it would have been like had i stayed and chosen the same path. i imagine an awkward, restless, unsatisfied version of myself. the road i chose has been lonely at times, difficult and beautiful at the same time. its been the necessary and right choice though.
the problem is the way forward. where do i look to next? where is the next plateau, the next horizon that presents itself? the beautiful thing about dissonance is that clarity can emerge in its midst.
'so i'm saving up my money,
gonna fly back to london town,
don't think that i should,
but i can't help myself right now
well, my girl in california doesn't deserve to be let down,
but if i make it back to london,
i will never make it out'
