nba draft: aw, i didn't get to watch it when it happened because i have a whopping 10 channels at my house. LAME, i know! OH BELIEVE ME, I KNOW!!! ugh. but anyways, these boys that get picked... this is their dream >> to be in the NBA. point guard from my school got drafted in the first round. yay for him!!! that's freakin great!!! this was his dream. he chased it-- and he was lucky enough to catch up to it and grab it. i really am proud of him! i know i didn't know him or what not, but just his story is a lesson for me and an inspriation; a great reminder.
when i heard where he got drafted i was like yayyyy!!!! & then it saddened me. he chased his dream... am i chasing mine? i mean yeah, i have a dream, but i often think of the risks it requires and what not and become scared and lose hope--so flippin easily it's ridiculous. i often feel like my view of reality overrides my dream. it's just the way i was brought up. i'm so realistic, it's damaging. this past week has been a really trying week. i've been trapped at home [no car, barely any tv, etc] with not much to do but jam to music and think. so i've done a lot of that. i wanna chase my dream. obviously! but i bet everyone does. i just don't know how to go about it. but you better bet i'm gonna try my best. it's the hard work that is gonna set you apart and make it worth while.
as i was also reminded this week >> life is short & you only get one. so i better make it worth it. everyone wants their dream to come true, but the ones that work the hardest are gonna see their dreams right in the palm of their hands. that's what sets them apart: true hard work. [well for the most part. there are those that live their dream because of who they know. and don't get me started on that. totally unfair how that works. but it's society right? maybe if i knew a lot of important people, i'd be okay with that... haha. but i'd hope not. i'd hope that i would wanna work just as hard as i am gonna work now to make a name for myself and not just hop on someone else's name. blah blah blah].
anyways,
are yall chasing your dreams?
i hope so.
& if you're not, that's totally okay, if you...
take today, for it is a gift, and work on making your dreams come true. it's okay to be a dreamer, but you gotta go after it too! because it's not gonna happen on it's own, that's for sure. one step at a time babes. & it def won't happen all at once! remember, patience is a virtue. we all have so much potential that we need to put to use. believe in yourself. na'mean?! ;)
& if you have been chasing your dream and feel weary, don't you worry. if you're trying your gosh darn best... that's all that really matters, honestly. i highly admire people that put their everything into something. i mean, it's all you can do! keep pushing, you may be closer to your dream than you think. and you never know, you might actually come about another dream along the way.
& if you're a lucky one--one that has gotten their dream, and is living it... i congratulate you and i admire you. i also hope you realize you are a lucky one. & i hope you don't let your dream slip through your fingers, because it can happen. hold on tight, and please pleasseee don't take things for granted!! [this goes for everyone, but especially you dream livers, haha. realize and appreciate what you have].
