Bio
I <3 Jesus.

A questioning prose by me.

Why was life so exciting and wonderful when we were young and had the whole world to explore?
Now it seems I've lost something and I want it back.
I used to believe the world was genuinely good and loving.
Now I know it's not, and everyday I wonder what will happen to us.
It's getting closer and closer to the end and we're all just standing around staring.

"What to do next?" I ask myself.
Exactly my point. We have so much potential when our minds are juvenile and unadulterated.
But now dreams are trashed, and hopes are dashed.
We come to realize that not everyone can be ballerinas and firemen.
Some of us must and will be cashiers, assistants, mechanics, trash collectors, homeless, hookers, and dead.
Who will it be?
I wonder all the time.
Will I be one of those? Or will my dreams pan out?
In this day nobody can tell. It seems so obvious in our childhood.
Of course I'll be a doctor. Of course I'll be happy. Of course I'll have a family.

Of course.

But no. Now we realize, everyone plays a part in this society and yours most likely,
Will not be what you dreamed as a kid.
Childish things are put away and we all grow up eventually.
There's still hope though. That in whatever you do, wherever you go.
God still there and still grabs you when you fall.
And He holds you when you cry because the world isn't what you believed it to be.

The world is scary and rotten.
But we're in it and we have to make the most of what it is.
People are so fragile and mindless sometimes.
They forget what's around them and move through the motions.
Just taking life the way it comes.
“Going with the flow.”
I refuse to sit around and watch my life go by without a care in the world.
That’s not what it’s about. It’s about forcing your life into making a difference.
A distinction in something, something that will mean anything after you’re dead.

I will live my dreams and become what I want to be.

Live or die. I will dream, and the world has no say in who I am or what I’ll be.
