A moment apart.

Perhaps every moment tumbles into the next for a reason.

Any day, you can decide to be someone else. To make different decisions. To live a different life.

Any day, can change your life beyond your control. And in every moment different stories both end and begin.

I think a lot about all of the people who have come and gone in my life. The happy faces, I once looked forward to seeing. The conversations we may have never had. And I face each day believing that I have learned everything I need to, in order to take the next step forward. I sing in the shower and give speeches to audiences yet to know my name.

I dream of teaching things to people whom I haven’t met yet. I dream of a better life. Hoping each day that if I believe a little bit more, have a little more confidence in myself, and I never give up — that my circumstances will change. That suddenly, the world will make more sense to me, and I’ll be able to get what I want. That I could make people genuinely happy, be one of the best at my craft, and live freely away from all the weight that seems to crush so many others.

I see that right now, I have an opportunity. I have the sharpness of mind, I have a strong will in my heart, my body is capable. I can go after what I want most in life. For so long, I viewed my loneliness as a curse, but I’m realizing lately that it’s a blessing. It’s a boon to be able to pursue what I want.

Love cannot be over rated… true support and care is unreplaceable. But, this is what I have to believe to keep going.

So I guess, believe in yourself. And look at your life through a scope that helps you get to the end. Understanding is great, but your life becomes your viewpoint, you know? So rewrite those self fulfilling prophecies into ones where you come out who you want to be. It doesn’t have to be the hero. You can just be a normal person. You can be happy. That’s all that matters.

Stay warm out there,
