one of those moments when everything is so clear.

What do I want in life? A question, that for me is not easily answered. I want to love and be loved... simple right? Actually, I would venture to say it is quite complicated. All I can do is be who I am. I AM REAL, I FEEL, I LAUGH, I CRY, I HURT, I LONG, AND I LAUGH SOME MORE. So I will continue to exist, but what will I do in this life, cause only I have the power to decide that.

I will travel to the core of my own sorrow and i will not shrink back from the further pains that life will bring.

I will be brave.

I will be strong.

I will dance with joy, and let that joy fill me within every inch of my soul.

I WILL LAUGH

I will wake up after a night of tears, no matter how much I don't want to , and do what needs to be done to keep going.

I will be okay with failure.

I will challenge myself.

I will push the limits of my body, my mind and my spirit.

I will not give up.

I WILL FIND BEAUTY ALL AROUND, EVEN WHEN THINGS DON'T LOOK SO PRETTY.

I will stand by those i love even through the fire.

I will be alone with myself and enjoy the company I keep in the empty moments.

I will worship.

I will pray.

I WILL SERVE.

I will look like a fool if necessary, just for the adventure of being alive.

I will have faith.

I will have hope.

I will love.

I will forgive.

I will have dreams.

and though it seems,

I am just barely getting by,

I will dream with TEARS in my eyes.

and most important,

I will make a difference.
