Misfits #1: not our world
No, you stand corrected. This isn’t our world. This is much more. This is our universe. You just don’t realise it. We outnumber you by at least ten to one - it’s just that we keep very quiet about that fact. We refuse to subscribe to your way of thinking, but we do so in near silence.
We are conspiratorial, but we’re not conspiring against you. We only talk in whispers and secret huddles because we don’t want anyone else to hear. Words are more effective when spoken in hushed tones.
The only thing you have correctly identified about us is that we don’t know where we’re going, which direction we’re headed in, what our role is in life. While it’s true that this sometimes leads to a view of the future that is all parched earth, flat as concrete, not even a single gnarled and leafless tree to momentarily offer a respite from the featureless horizon, oftentimes it’s also something else: an adventure.
Walking together, yet apart. Joined in solitude, with a burning desire to explore. We will win, but not on your blinkered terms.
