Olympus Has Fallen

i feel like in a big way, the ego has been stripped from my eyes. the rose colored tinting has fallen, much like Olympus. everything crashing around you at once, the ego that still stuck trying to hold it all together, has now been permeated, leaving behind restraint for nothing but acceptance, gratification and solitude. it’s a melancholy feeling, it’s a dull view. but, it’s peaceful. it’s somewhat optimistic. there was so much of the view being tied to the restraint, of which was nothing i could have solved. so much restraint, to be stuck, still forced to look nowhere but inward. there is no more energy now, merely survival and although, at times, i miss the rose colored haze. i think i much prefer the dullness and the solitude that results from letting the tint go, to reveal nothing but a fallen Olympus and only my own reconciliation with it all.
