2 ways

How I see it, there's always two roads open for you at any point. You accept it or reject it. You make the best of it or the worst of it. It's never too late to change to be who you want to be. No one will stop you. After each occurence though, I hope you make the best of it. This world holds so much just waiting for us to find it. It's strange how something so little can change so much. I hope you meet people with different perspective's other than your own. And that you experience things that push you to feel things you have never ever felt before. When these moments come, I hope they even bring by a scare every now and then. You know, just a momentary glimpse for you to come back to reality. But most importantly, don't be afraid to fall. Be proud of the life you have been given, for this chance only comes around once. If you mess up, I hope you have the courage and strength to start over and face your past. It's only human, it's okay. And as quoted, " Life is defined by opportunities... even the ones you miss" Take it to the heart, these opportunities are the very thing that keeps us alive.

No Boundaries

Dreams. Definition: Something almost or impossible in one's mind during sleep. When you dream, the boundaries of reality melt away into a neverending sea of possibilities. The rules you are forced to follow simply fail to exist here. Anything can happen here. Goals and ambitions pursued, secrets revealed, fears confronted, and wishes granted. Each person's dreams are unique and different. What I've dreamt, only I know. Only I know exactly how the figments of my imagination played out in my mind that night. Kind of like my own movie. It's quite amazing. You know those dreams where you're getting chased by a bad guy and running for your life? I hate those. I can never figure out what those mean. Is it anticipating something? I just wish they could end. Then theres the ones where I'm at my high and I could stay in this place forever. One of those I-wish-this-could-last-forever dreams. You know what I'm talking about.Everything's so perfect until the disturbing alarm rings and bursts my sparkling bubble. Haha, how annoying right? You know how they say dreams usually are a symbol of something that is to come? Well sure it might be some of the time, but at least most of mine are just things I have thought about, felt, seen, or talked about recently in the past few days. You don't really notice it of course but it's funny how that works. The easy part is dreaming; the hard part is pursuing. Isn't that how most of the greatest creators in the world have gained their fame? They work hard to pursue their lifelong dream. I'm not too sure what my dreams really mean yet, but at times I wish I didn't have to wake up right away. You know, staying in this 'dreamland' isn't so bad. I wish I could explore around, experience new things, meet some people, and discover what lies beneath each of these crazy dreams. It is the one single place where there are zero limits. This is what lets us dream of our goals. So what's the magic of dreaming you ask? We have the ability to create such thoughts to envelope that tiny ounce of hope pushing us to chase our fears away and reach our ambitions.

Why?

You meet someone for the first time and you automatically start to make certain assumptions about them. Maybe it's their hair, or the way they talk, or even the way they dress. For the most part, you probably don't even know this person that well. Subconsciously, we automatically start to have negative feelings about them. We call this judging. But why do we do it? Because we're human. It's just one of those qualities we're born with I guess. What we must do is fight it though. Give it our all to fight the negative feelings rushed into your mind at that first glance. Believe there is nothing horrible about that person and wait to get to know them before you make any assumptions.

I got to thinking though, why do we do this constantly without even trying? Perhaps it's because when we see someone differing from the norm, our brain feels the need to classify people into certain categories. I'm talking about when we label people as emos, goths, jocks, preps, etc. Think of how much of a difference it would make if we all could really take the effort to get to know every person we meet. Everyone's a stranger at some point right? Well that tiny ounce of effort to get to know someone will automatically shift your frame of mind. Think of it as a deck of cards. You judge someone and the cards have automatically been laid out for you and glued to the table. Get to know them, and those cards will magically reshuffle themselves and give you a whole new opinion about them. Try it sometime, it's crazy. I still haven't figured out this crazy habit we have, but I've definitely cleared my head. Of course we're not all perfect human beings, yet we gossip about each other all the time.

Honestly though, do you think you could say one nice thing about every single person you meet without a single thought? How about one bad thing? I bet the second one's easier. It's human nature to focus on the flaws and overlook the good. This judging that we do though, is it because of insecurity? to feel superior? just for the purpose of being 'cool'? I feel like i'm getting off topic right now, but the things I hear people say just amaze me. I don't understand it. We're all human right? Then what's the need to put other people down? Well bottom line is we will never be likable to everyone. While some love you for certain qualities, others will strongly detest you for those same ones. Maybe it's just a matter of taste. I don't know. But from now on, start off with a clean slate. Really push yourself to keep an open mind before forming certain opinions about them. Next time you talk about someone, I hope you remember this. You don't know them. Who knows what their going through? All you have is their image to rely on. Can you really base everything off of that? Rumors aren't always true. There's a reason why it's called a rumor. This constant judging will always be present around you but that doesn't mean you have to follow this crazy worldwide trend. It's just another one of those crazy unexplainable things in life I guess.

Stories

I should probably be going to bed right now but I can't help but to notice how big of an impact one single person can make on me. In fact, everyone I know, whether it was from the day I was born or if I just met them yesterday, they seem to change me. It's strange but true. I'm amazed at how much people have an effect on me. Some say they have everyone they'll ever need to survive a lifetime? well not me. I will never in my life be able to utter those words. I don't think that's possible because I'm constantly changing and I always will be. Every person I meet slightly transforms me into a different being disregarding whether it was for the better or the worse. I start out as a block of clay, meet many people and experience new things, and become molded into who I am today. Who knows though, by tomorrow I'll probably look a bit different after making a few encounters. I like hearing other's opinions and thoughts, looking at things from a different perspective, it widens my sense of knowledge. I strongly believe every person in the world has something to contribute. When two people meet, they exchange this information and alter whether they know it or not. Just like you and me, each person starts off with their own story. When these stories meet, they intertwine and open up a whole sky full of possibilities. This may be part of the reason I love going to new places. Meeting new people, hearing what they have to say, and changing my way of thought to look at things from a different standpoint. Some have something good to give, some have bad. Through life, I know I'll encounter both of these numerous times but I guess it's just my decision what to take in. As I've said earlier, I want to be someone who will change the world. I write this because I have things to say. I want to make a difference, essentially make a difference in someone out there and inspire them. I don't know when this day will come, but when it does I'll be waiting to embrace it. Well it's getting late so I guess I'll go to sleep, looking forward to tomorrow wondering who I will be lucky enough to meet.
