Fighting Quicksand

As I'm currently applying for colleges, I'm starting to realize things. We would all love to have this process be as easy as singing a song on stage one time and becoming a singer. Or perhaps painting a picture and becoming a famous artist? Well that's definitely not the case. I have friends and family to support and help me along the way, but it is essentially me that's going to have to take initiative and work for it. Me who's going to make the change. We all need to stand on our own two feet and overcome our problems. The people we rely on are here right now, but the sad truth of the matter is that they won't always be around here forever. These people will give you something to learn but learning to be independent will help the most in the long run. I've seen way too many times where people end up helpless in a time of need because they have used others as a crutch through life. This makes me feel bad for them because each person has the potential to be independent, but it just depends whether we grow to it or not.

Only For Now

It always seems to be easier to seek what we want, rather than to seek the truth. What we want is a neverending list stretching for miles with all sorts of possibilities. The truth is what lies beneath the illusional facades. As we reach out to grasp what we desire, we ignorantly leave behind the truth. Recognition and money seem to mean everything in this world while we forget about what has always been with us all along. Where have all the simple things gone? The comfort of our friends, company of our family, etc. The way I look at it, getting what we want is not always a good thing. I don't want to forget about what I've always had just to attain the things that seem glorious at the moment. Of course it isn't always bad, but there just has to be a balance between them I guess. By going for my goals, I want to make sure I don't lose myself in the process. For once that happens, I can choose to be who I've turned into or who I really am. So I guess what I'm saying is to keep an eye out for our desires, they could turn into quite a tragedy if taken one step too far.
