Reena’s Exploration Challenge #70 – A Patchwork Soul
A Patchwork Soul ….. by Michael
There was little point he told himself in pretending otherwise.
He was, who he was, and all the denial in the world was never going to change that.
Accepting himself was his biggest life task. He wanted to be someone, then again who doesn’t? Wanted to stand out, play test cricket, write the ultimate novel, be a leader of men and women, love and grow through the experiences he came face to face with.
It was easy to dream, his whole life in many ways was lived in a fantasy world, where he imagined he was one thing or another. He became a life actor turning his hand to whatever circumstance he felt were needed to advance himself, he learned to play the game, he went places, and he did get noticed.
But all the while he craved to find out who he really was. Success was fleeting, he found…
