To the last day in June

facing fears:
you can't ever let your fears;
hold you back.
you must let the wind push you;
down the right track.
you can't waste your days;
wondering what could be.
but you can view the future;
like the open sea.
endless in all directions
changing in an instant
be sure not to blink;
because you might miss it.
so don't worry about what's coming;
just float with the sea
i promise your fears are weaker;
than what they may seem.
so always stand up;
and never back down.
the second you quit;
is the second you'll drown.
fight for what you want;
chase after your dreams.
this life that lies ahead;
is better than you can believe.

summer step: 2

now, let me just say that I was 100% right in regards to my last post. not 3 days later well, never mind. don't worry about it. anyways, I have been thinking a lot about college for the past week because I go to orientation next Wednesday and Thursday. I've spent a lot of contemplating what I want to do with the rest of my life, where I want to go, and who i want to spend my time with. but honestly, no matter how much i think about it and wish for it to happen, I just have to wait and see. take each thing that comes my way with a grain of salt and keep on going. speaking of wishes however, while sitting on the stand a couple days ago I overheard this conversation

little boy: *hiccups three times in a row

little girl: you hiccuped three times in a row! we get a wish!!

lb: okay awesome!

they both stood there a minute coming up with their wish and proceeded to jump into the pool, this is what they said when they came up.

lg: what was your wish?

lb:i can't say!

lg:my wish was to touch the bottom of the pool when i jumped it..i did it!!

all I can say is that conversation right there made my day, like how awesome would it be if the biggest thing in our life was to touch the bottom of the 5 foot deep pool? sometimes it's nice to think back on the days of being a child and all of the silly things you did, for me at least, it makes me appreciate who I am right now. although the little girl didn't dream big which I'm sure the boy did, she wished for something she knew she could make happen, and sometimes that's better than having huge expectations that you, or anyone else for that matter, won't be able to live up to. now, I'm not saying we should dream within limits, because that folks, is just plain boring, what I'm saying is that you shouldn't worry yourself over your dreams. you have to know what you want, work for it, and be open to whatever the outcome may be. knowing, that there is a reason for everything.

(has nothing to do with post, but I absolutely love this song)
