Life Outside

Did you know there's a life outside

what you know as your life?

This life outside is the real version

of your life,

the one you were never told about

nor realized it existed.

Some of you have found it

but with most,

the tryst with what you have always known

as your life continues.

Remember that feeling from the olden days

when you decided you would grow up

to be an astronaut, a dancer, a scientist,

an artist, a lawyer? That's how your life outside what you know feels like-

filled with immense potential and zeal.

And if you want it, it's yours to have,

just start unlearning what you know to get there.
