On Being Wrong

“Why do you come here?” Dude asked.

Why do I come here…?

Well…

I come here because there is no other place to go. No place like this, that’s for sure.

I come here because I want to learn more about myself. I want to learn who I am.

This place shows me a part of myself that I cannot find anywhere else.

Sometimes it shows the good me and sometimes it reflects a me I’d rather not see. But it always shows me something.

And seeing as I want to know me as much as possible, I come.

But I know I can’t stay here because this place is not real. It’s unreal.

I want to be real and I want every part of me to be real.

That’s why I come here.
