Sons of the World, the comfort zone is only in your mind
To: YOU
From: StefDear Sons,
I got stuck so many times in my life
I had dreams of reaching the stars
and I had fears of monsters and ghosts under my bedI was stuck in the love for a mother
who used to throw her pain on my face every day
I was stuck on a shape of myself other people decidedOne day she lost her mind and I lost a mother
so I gave up on my dreams to take care of the family
One day they said and I settled
in that house full of ghostsI got stuck in a life I didn’t choose
a job, a school, a house, that’s what you need
I felt that was the right thing to do
settle in a zone of painful comfortAs time goes by, that zone started to smell
a pond of guano is warm but excrement
I couldn’t breath trapped in a heavy armour
and nightmares spoke the truth to meI packed some clothes and my music
I flew to the other side of the world
to break that armour, to smell salty air
I left securities that actually weren’t and risk it allSons, what you should know is that the comfort zone is only in your mind
Cause you know what happened?
My mother saved herself by herself
Real new friends knows me more than the old ones
I don’t have a house but I’m sure I’ll always have a cozy bed to sleep on
Surfing is my therapy even though the family told me I wasn’t meant for sports
and Music is still my lover I love spend time with
and you know what? I finally found someone like me.Dear Sons,
you are meant for everything you love. But you gotta step out of the comfort zone trap.Voting is closed

Stefania, I am so proud of you for following your heart and stepping out of what sounds like a cage, or as you put it, trap. You deserve to follow your heart and discover your happiness. You can’t save people. People have to save themselves. And surfing looks like so much fun. Keep finding your peace and chasing your happiness in new and uncomfortably comfortable places. Thank you for sharing and thank you for being part of The Unsealed. <3 Lauren
