I once had a dream, and I've had dreams ever since—dreams of leading a normal, decent life, a condition-free lifestyle that nonetheless adheres to fundamental principles. Gone are the days, I treaded the most demanding route of struggles for the finest jubilant victories. I have indulged in the most formulaic routines and uncovered a trove of lessons. I have received few notable awards, but I have missed out to take advantage of many opportunities available. On a handful instances, I've made my parents proud and on others, I too have underwhelmed them. Some things in life are indeed compensable, but many are not. Thus, I want to cherish the moment of existence more than whatever perks I throw in the towel.
The change in the direction of the wind has caught me by surprise. I had to maneuver my tide as it will ebb and flow yet I shall face it and enjoy the ride. Even if the world splits in two with a clap of thunder, I will still pursue my heart, which is a path that leads somewhere unknown but definite. I won't be returning, may thistles cover previous pathways but I shall proceed forward toward a bid to reach the call of destination that I know not. I shall lower the tone of my dream a bit otherwise they would just bring about despair but I took the choice to move in the direction that lacks a limit and yet is brimming with possibilities for exploration -the atmosphere that is judgment-free, open for dialogue, and gives people the freedom to express.
I've anticipated this moment for a while, and it too shall pass and many shall come forth. Whatever transpires, may it be for the best. All choices comprise considering trade-offs and embracing risk. Dreams are all about grandeur, forsaking challenges for an intended goal. Happiness is all but a pieces fitting oneself into the pie of reaping benefits. To navigate my life, I shall constantly aspire to strike a balance of my heart and mind.
