Just shoot for the stars and aim for my heart...

Days like today don't come around often. Nothing really happened, but in fact, so many things actually did. Change doesn't always have to roar, sometimes it can be a gentle breeze, and it doesn't even have to change all that much. Subtle and unsubstantial, yet ever so important. A promise made my the mind, sealed by the heart, and forever embbeded into the soul. Many of you have laid witness to my journey, some of you even helped me steer the wheel, and then there's those few, who completely changed not only the rules, but the game itself. I welcomed some, dreaded others, yet every single one of you made me who I am today. I'd say I'm grateful, but the truth is, who I am, is still not good enough. I need to become more, I need to reach higher, I need to dream bigger. I know I'll never transcend, but the beauty of my life is that I'll never stop trying.


It's laughing with your friend at a time you know you shouldn't. It's the sweat on your palms when you'd give anything just to talk to someone, and the pit in your stomach and throat when you actually do. It's being touched by hands that aren't your own. It's the thrill of an escape that almost wasn't. It's the embarrasement you feel, when you utterly give yourself to someone else. It's helping a friend find something they lost. It's a smile, a joke, a song. It's whatever you like doing and everything you like remembering. That's what it's about. That's what my life shall be from now on. So how about it? Do you want to jump with me?
