You're gonna go far, kid.

It has been made clear to me that the war between heart and mind can be one of the toughest battles to fight. It drains you not only emotionally, but effects you physically. You start to realize the difference between wants and needs, and who you truly are. You start to negotiate whats wrong and whats right. The challenge being... reality. Once you step into reality everything becomes more real, as you realize that no one actually cares for another, that everyone is confused, and when you thought you were the outcast, you realize everyone else is to. There is no actual 'clique' of people, no actual 'type' of a personality, and no 'crowd' to follow. You soon realize that everything you were chasing after was a speck in the wind, that all the dreams of rich and fame was just a phase, and you don't need to be accepted by others, but accept the one's who are worth it into your life. That it wasn't about fitting in the crowd of sheep, but being able to fit in the tiny space of anothers heart. That to hold a grudge, hurts you more than it hurts the other, only adding weight to your shoulders. That behind the mask of evil, there is always hope trying to break through. As the clock runs out faster and faster, you rush, panicking, worrying about what you haven't achieved instead of taking a step back and looking at what you have done, what hearts you've changed. When you step out of the picture and look at it with a different perspective you start to understand the crude and harshness of others, you learn that the people who are rude and embarrass you in front of others are broken, and deep down, they envy you for being whole.  When you put your heart on the line for someone else, it speaks louder than the words your mind makes up for you. When you start to b e l i e v e in the impossible, it's up to YOU to achieve it, and only YOU can make it happen. You have to break the chains of hell and run, run toward to the sunset, and once you get there...keep going. Refusing to look back, putting the past to sleep. When you lay your head to bed at night, remember the dreams you once dreamed, and remember in the morning the only person you have is Y O U.
