I am Well-worn. I've been in this world with a black-and-white lens. I've assumed the worst and the best, never in the middle. Overtime I've grown aware of this gap in my vision and switched to a gray lens. I see more complexity now than ever before. Perhaps the greatest change was realizing my lack of genuine intention. So I try to change for the better and make myself a person that matches their rhetoric; to make real, physical change to myself and the portions of the world opened to me. But not everyone sees eye-to-eye. Not everyone thinks an attempt at genuine kindness is worth accepting. Everyday I'll meet one person who does this. Everyday they will tear and scratch at me out of fear. They fear that my actions are falsehoods and my words are rotten. I've encountered these thoughts so much, I've been worn thin from time-to-time. I endure and carry myself. I endure because I can. Because the world to me has always been black-and-white. Maybe, in time they will turn grey and understand that they too are Well-worn.
