Exhaustion of Apathy
In a world where effort is often cloaked under the guise of indifference, where passion is dampened beneath a facade of apathy, there lies a rebellious heartbeat. This heartbeat refuses to be silenced by the trend of the 'effortless cool.' It's a pulse within some of us that rejects the norm of turning off emotions, of not saying how we really feel because we fear it's too much.
There's a generation that prides itself on apathy, that has made an art of indifference. To them, not caring has become a badge of honor, a symbol of being unbothered and collected. But this badge is heavy, and under it, the genuine human spirit is suffocated. They say to wear your heart on your sleeve is a liability. They say to show excitement is to open yourself up to judgment.
But here I stand, waving my own flag in the face of this emotionless crusade, declaring that I will not be a part of this charade. I refuse to mute my enthusiasm or to dim the burning light of my passions just to blend into a monochrome crowd. To love without restraint, to care deeply about my work, to laugh with abandon, and to let tears fall in torrents when the moment calls for it—this is the manifesto of my being.
I will not hide behind a mask of irony. I will not pretend that the things that set my soul on fire are merely passing interests. And when it comes to you, the one I hold dear, I will not hold back the tide of my affection. My love will be a beacon, relentless and unashamed.
This effortless generation, this emotionless generation, it's not where I belong. I choose the path less trodden, one where I can cry hard and laugh from the bottom of my stomach. Where every emotion is embraced as a part of the human experience.
I am not 'too much.' I am alive. I am human. And in this lifetime, I choose to live fully, fiercely, and without a single ounce of remorse for being undeniably, passionately, beautifully human.
