hope is a waking dream*


"There comes a time when you must stand alone. You must feel confident enough within yourself to follow your own dreams.

You must be willing to make sacrifices.You must be capable of changing and rearranging your priorities so that your final goal can be achieved.

Sometimes, familiarity and comfort need to be challenged.There are times when you must take a few extra chances and create your own realities.

Be strong enough to at least try to make your life better.

Be confident enough that you won't settle for a compromise just to get by.

Appreciate yourself by allowing yourself the opportunities to grow, develop, and find your true sense of purpose in this life. Don't stand in someone else's shadow when it's your sunlight that should lead the way.” (and i totally forgot where i got this...)
in fits and bursts of darkness comes clarity and somehow, a map to show you the way from that bumpy road, only to be replaced by another goose-bumpy road. getting there, getting there. acceptance. letting go and yet hoping. holding my hand. seeing a defiant angel. why and why not. i can see clearly now, it's almost blinding. i know where home is, for now.
