You Have a Dream

Although everyone may seem “normal”—no one really is. You see, everyone has a story to tell—even you. Even if you are not entirely sure of what that is—it is whenever you don’t fit in, whenever you disagree with someone, whenever you have dreams, and whenever you have hurt. You have a story to tell, you just don't know how to tell it yet. The closer you get to being able to put your story into words, the less it will be a barrier for you to succeed in life and reach those goals you have been thinking about, or those dreams that you wish you could accomplish.

How?

Be different, because there is no alternative. Being normal is a term used to describe a person who is afraid to disagree, afraid to fail, and afraid to live. Someone whom would rather stay in the back, being polite to not cause a stir to people because they were told by these same people that you need to behave, you need to be like everyone else first, before you follow your dreams. And I get it; it’s tough going against these statements because they come from people you love. Your parents, siblings, friends, partner, etc. But the truth is, the dreams you had will die because you learn that they are “too risky,” and you start to doubt your own capabilities and lose interest in your dreams that were once so attainable to you.

You don't think you can?

I know you may have barriers. Maybe someone in your past still haunts your heart. And I know that it still gets to you when your mind wanders off to that place again. You know... the place in your life where you were lied to, betrayed, used, or abused. That really hurt, trust me, I know. Though, I want you to realize that the longer you keep those thoughts and that scenario alive, the longer you will be affected by it, but no one should ever have that kind of power over someone. If someone is out of your life, kick them out—completely! Now!

Put them in the box of memories that you pull out when you need motivation to follow your dreams and aspirations. You will be happy, it’s not too late—and best of all... there is no pressure. Go kick ass with everything you have learned—even if it doesn't appear in a textbook.

Follow through for once.
