Always fear the people who are invisible
because, with them, you'll never see it coming
and you'll never know what hit you.

There is only Plan A.
The reason I was born
is still the reason I was born
--it's do or die--
and I'll never let that knowledge slip my mind.

Always in my wildest dreams
So many amazing, unbelievable, things happen to people who, when asked if they ever dreamed this would happen to them, say: "never in my wildest dreams!" or "I didn't even have the capacity to dream or even think this big!" or "I had never even imagined this was even possible!". Often these things happen to the unsuspecting, "humble", folks...
But for me it's gonna be different because, one day, when people ask me if I ever dreamed this would happen, I'm gonna say "Yes". It may not sound as "humble" as being totally oblivious to a miracle but, I will say "Yes", and I'll be proud of it because only a dreamer can say that! Most people don't know what it takes to be a dreamer and how strong you have to be to protect and hold onto your dream. Dreaming isn't easy and it's not for the faint of heart. It requires guts to open up the deepest part of your heart and soul and risk it's vulnerability to the possibility of disappointment and destruction.
Most people don't know what it really is to dream. A dream isn't just something that you think up for fun because you don't believe it will ever happen. A dream is actually something that you truly believe in, in the center of your being, even though there is no physical proof or logic to reassure you. It appears to have no safety net because it is a gamble (and it's all or nothing!). A dream is a walk (and sometimes a marathon) in the darkness led only by your gut. A dream is a life line that consumes the life you have now. It is a future!
Most people don't realize that the fact that you dreamed it first means so much more--not only because of WHAT it is that happened but WHY--because you KNEW it would--and because of HOW it came to BE.
When all the odds were stacked against it far before it came true, in the end it made it, and survived the journey just like you! To me, the fact that you had the ability to reach for and the capacity to believe in the impossible; the endurance to keep going when it still didn't happen yet after years of trying; the perseverance through the hardest times when that dream was the only thing left of your life to live for; the fact that you still held onto it; and the fact that you recognized it was REAL and, above all, treasured that sacred knowledge; makes you more deserving of that miracle than anyone who NEVER SAW IT COMING.

MUST
I was thinking about how opinionated I am and how much of my thoughts and feelings I have put out there through my writing...
I don't mind speaking my mind if I strongly believe and feel it! But I was just wondering if it would all come back to bite me later on (or if I will have to bite it when I eat my own words)...
I don't think it will, though, because, in order for that to happen, it would mean that it was wrong or something.
As we go through life things change, our moods change, we get silly and we get serious, our feelings change, we get happy, we get angry, and we get sad, we move through different times and places, our needs change, our likes and dislikes change, we are young and then we get older, we change.
Is a caterpillar wrong because it will become a butterfly one day? No, because even though we know that what is the case right now will not be the case later on, we must still acknowledge it's presence!
Don't be afraid to speak loudly in the present & be who you are right now! It is what is real.
Everything is constantly changing! But we have to remember that WE MUST LIVE IN EACH MOMENT in order to get to the next step.
