This is a rant I wrote a while ago. I just wanted to share it with all of you. <3
Everybody dreams of something bigger. Something that's so out of reach that it's like walking on water. An impossible feat? Yes. I've learned to lay down and float; let the current carry me along. Due to having figured this out, I've obtained ultimate serenity. I've managed to, not only catch my dreams, but make them a reality. I've found that within myself, I'm not a perfect person; not that I ever thought I was- but, I'm finally perfectly okay with being imperfect. Someone very important in my life told me that "It's okay to be broken." and without the shocking truth to those words, I don't think I'd be where I am right now. You see, with him saying that, he made me realize that he accepts me. He accepts not only my positives, but also my faults. He knows of my struggles. He may not like where they led me, but he appreciates what they've done for me, for us. We come from two opposite forms of struggles. We've gone through different battles and obtained different forms of scars. Whether he's emotionally inept, or I underthink my ability, we push each other forward. If he can accept me, anyone can. He made me realize that. Dreams aren't meant to exist only in your subconsious.. they merely tell you what you're capable of; whether you're aware of it or not. It's up to you to make your dreams a reality. Live them. Don't just dwell on their beauty, because dreams dispappear. Within moments of your conscience being aware of reality, it silences the screams of your subconsious. Only, because you let it. I can't stress enough how important it is to know where you want to go with your life. Who do you want to be 20 years from now? The time to start becoming that person, is now. 20 years from now, you won't just wake up one morning and be what you invisioned. You have to make it happen. Push yourself. Don't give up. Let the strains of daily life get your stronger. Sure, you might want to give up and take a break, but that's when you need to move forward the most. You have to tell yourself that you can do it- because you CAN. You may need help along the way, but isn't that the whole point of communication? Friendship? Love? You're probably wondering what my dream was, aren't you? Well, to be completely honest, I wasn't 100% aware of it until it finally became my reality. I dreamt of being loved. Of being accepted. I achieved this by opening myself to someone in a way I never opened myself to anyone before. He knows more about me emotionally than I ever let anyone even get a glimpse of. There's things that I went through that some of you know, and some things nobody will ever know. You see.. I shared my dream. I gave someone else a shocking slap to the face with reality. It's okay to open up. It's okay to care and be yourself. Never shut yourself off from the world; no matter how much good you think will come of it. You need to move forward to get where you're going. "If you don't know where you're going, any path will get you there". I want to live the rest of my life, knowing full well, that I made the right choices and took all the right paths. Alas, I've already wandered down a few bad roads; but, I got myself right back on track. So, in retrospect, that's better than living a perfect life. Struggles make achieving your dreams even more worthwhile. So don't give in when that's what you need to do most. Your conscience doesn't know what's best for you, no matter how repetitive the story of Pinocchio is. Your conscience only tells you what you already know. Guilt; when you know you've done something wrong. Shame; when you peer-pressured someone into doing something they didn't want to. Your subconscience makes you aware of what you're capable of achieving. You just have to put your back into it. You can't carry a heavy load with just your fingertips. You need to put everything you've got into it. Don't take the easy way out. You won't get the biggest thrill of living your life to it's fullest. A cup half full, is also half empty. Forget the cup. Drink right from the faucet. -Eryka Inspire.
