Lost and Found

We often forget the small things in life. The person. The dream.
It's not a bad thing though. Never a bad thing. It's just unfortunate.

Now finding those small things, having to go remember them, that is one of the greatest journeys one can take.
I'm finding the small things, and it's piecing together to create something far bigger than me. Far greater than I could ever imagine. It's so unimaginable, I have to resist the urge to close me eyes, for if I shut them, I fear it will just be a dream I will awake from.
No, go find those pieces. Because they make you. In this life, they are you.

Field of Dreams

Stand in a field and close your eyes.
Relax your shoulders and breathe.
Tilt your head towards the sun and laugh.
Let it all go. All of it.

Sit down on the grass and open your eyes.
Lay down and sigh.
Run your hands along the ground and take it in.
Be yourself. No one is watching.

I don't think many understand the game they're playing.
They're in it for life, there's no way out, unless you lose.
And really, who wants to lose?
Because in this life, if you lose, you die.
So once and a while, take a break from it all. Lay in the grass and dream.

Draw a line

It's so hard to stand alone. To take a stance, and remain that way, waiting for someone to join you.
So, so hard. It's understandable why people don't do it often.
What makes it hard isn't standing alone, it's people's opinions. Judgements. And having no one to back you up. No one to agree with you. That's what makes it hard.

I don't know many who have done it. Even as we've grown, people still remain beside each other, in hope they won't be opposed or singled out.
I tend to step forward.
The feeling of being trapped by other's thoughts and ways of life, I just cannot deal with. I rather stand alone then under protection of those who I do not agree with.
But when I step forward, people fall in line behind me. It's not often long, I realise that others feel the same way. They just didn't have the courage to take the first little step.

So, in the end, we won't be standing alone. Just for those first few minutes, or hours, or sometimes days. But once people listen to your beliefs and your views, I can almost guarentee you, people will stand by you.
Not just your friends either.

Be confindent, be strong and be who you want to be.
We don't always need each other to back us up, we need to rely on our own judgements sometimes.
