Impossible: a word used by the cowardly



I have so many things that I want to do right now, and they do include school work. But mostly, I just want to realise my true dreams -- and I got to admit that I don't have the guts to do it. 

I guess it's hard to snap out of the mainstream. I don't have the guts to drop everything and just go for what I really want. I can only try to include these dreams in my life as much as possible, hoping that one day, I will spend all my time on them. It's really strange that the existence of the 'norm' warps our desires. We force ourselves to believe that what everyone else wants - a stable income, prestige, social status - is what we want, too. We force ourselves to think that by going down the mainstream road, we will also become successful like those who had gone down the same path. We refuse to let go and just take that risk, because we are afraid that we might fail. Am I making a false generalisation here? Well, at least this is what it is for me.

I'm an opportunist, but opportunists grab opportunities when they come by.

What I need to learn, is to go out and grab that opportunity that might never come by.



(No new photos because I haven't been able to go out lately :( Too much work!!! Hope I finish them soon and find a day to spend with my small eyed boy :))
