Dreaming.
Dreaming that dream that seems just out of reach.
Dreaming of the strength to let others see, to reveal the innermost parts of me that make me want to scream.
Hoping.
Hoping that this dream is not a fantasy, a way to pass my time instead of living in reality.
Hoping to find validity in my own ability.
Hoping that this drive, this passion will not take me down a road that will destroy me.
Praying.
Praying that I press on.
Praying that I don't lose the love for my craft while waiting.
Praying for the strength to keep writing, even though nothing seems to be happening.
Working.
Working through boredom, through frustration, through anger.
Working to improve and be brave enough to leave compliments, my shelter.
Working so that one day I can move from praying, and hoping, and dreaming to living.
