Skyscrapers

Authors note: This piece of writing was inspired by a song i wrote a while back called Skyscrapers

Tall, beautiful, and sometimes breathtaking, but in this piece of writing skyscrapers are my object/metaphor.

As human beings living in the age of information, we can see/get anything with just one click of a button and it’s a curse and a blessing in my eyes.

One thing I've noticed in life is that people are always wondering what other people have or what other people are doing or thinking and it’s annoying as hell. If you’re an average student in high school or college, you have some sort of social media and this is what causes these types of things. Skyscrapers. These are what i call people that you see on these websites living the dream life that you think everybody would love to live, for  example, artist, movie stars, or just people that are internet famous. As you see these people on commercials, magazines, or even in person they seem to have it all but things are almost always never what they seem. I know from experience on what this type of mentality can do to a person, me being an offspring from it. “Only worry about the things that you are in control of,” is a quote that really has stuck with me throughout my life because when you live worrying about all these situations that you’re going through that you have no control over, you are going to drive yourself crazy. Sometimes you have to let the universe take control and have faith. I read this book called “The Secret” and it about the laws of attraction and it talks about the laws of the universe. It states that like attracts like so if all you do is think negative then all you are going to attract in your life is negative energy and you don’t want that. It also goes way deeper than that but i’h going to save that for another day. Skyscrapers can be very deceiving and can lead you in the wrong direction if you let it. I guess the moral of this story is stop selling yourself short, if you want something, go and get it and stop worrying about the norm or what other people think about you and just do you.
