500 starts

A surge of motivation is felt 

A surge of conviction 

A thought of "from now on I will..."

Triggered from a quote

A movie 

A conversation 

A book


You have high hope for a new beginning 

You never change but you think you don't lack clarity 

It's abundantly clear in the moment 

How your life will be different 

"from now on..."


And every time you catch yourself 

3h later almost always sooner 

"You see you don't act differently"

"You are not changed at all"

Your surge of motivation passed 

A surge of conviction vanished 

You are the same 

You act the same 

We always default to our default. 


500 loops of the same experience 

Nothing changes 

You scroll 

You quit

You consume 

You borrow

Ideals 

Sincerity 

Convictions 

Vision from others 


500 times you begun 

500 times you were forced to reconsider your interest 

We live a life of borrowed sincerity 

Which lead to a wasted life 

Unable to understand what's truly ours or what's borrowed 


500 times you wanted a different life 

Out of fear of not finding one.
