My Apology, My Thoughts

For a while now, I have been trying to do the grown up thing. Work the 9 to 5. Pay the bills on time. Plan a future and become what's expected....
As a result I became a bit disillusioned. I felt that dreams were just that, 'dreams' . I felt, for some reason, that l should lock away that part of myself that was not considered practical. The dreamer.
And I did.
...... It's been almost a year and I have felt the impact of that decision. The emptiness that is as a result of suffocating that part of myself that is most definitive. And to my dreams I apologize. To the dreamer I admit that I was wrong. To all the stories that have been swimming around in my head, and in my soul, in my heart... I beg your forgiveness for my arrogance and laziness. Know that I was the fool that lost out. I was the one that quit on you. And I humbly and piously present myself to you. I am the prodigal son that has returned to the welcoming arms of my black sheep reality. Filled with dreams, and Visions and worlds yet to be discovered. I have missed you my friends. Hopefully you have missed me too... And thus a new chapter begins.

My Stance...

I submit this to you. I am submitting to you. 

Completely and utterly, no barriers to break through. 

Give me your heart, let me see it bleed true. 

I submit this to you. I am submitting to you.

#MyLifeAsAHuman - Entry# 984 - My Symphony

I'm sitting here gazing out into a world of possibility and purpose and I chide myself for being a coward sometimes.  I get mad at myself for doubting as much as I do, for hesitating and finding excuses. I look back and remember when I was a fearless dreamer, blatant in my belief, obnoxious in my certainty.... And I wonder.... Where did she go? Where did that girl go? Was she killed off by cynicism? Knocked down by reality.... Captured by adulthood? Defeated by life?... I shake my head, for it is better than hanging it in shame. I steady myself for the mourning of my past self.... And I think... Am I but a shell of my former self? Void of truth and inspiration?  Am I so empty a vessel that my noise is nothing but a deafening yet unnoticeable silence?... These are my fears that nip at my confidence, that drown my rising strength. These are the fears I hold on to, to feed my pity party and excuse myself from wanting... From dreaming... From doing. These are ...

#My Life as a Human - Entry #13 - Dreamer's Declaration

I have all this nervous energy coursing through my veins. I can feel anticipation, anxiety, fear, restlessness...and Serenity? My mind boggles at the body's capacity to withstand so much at the same time, in a matter of mere minute seconds, balled up and ready to explode. How is this possible? Why is it possible? My mind races, so much to do, so much to get done. My dreams are no longer secrets, my dreams are no longer 'dreams'. They have morphed, capsized and regained consciousness. Life has been breathed...resurrected... I have dreamed, no! I have breathed (exhales) life into my dreams. Finally. Finally I am no longer an escape artist. An escapist of my dreams, of my fears, of failure, of rejection. Finally I am a dreamer realized. Recognized. No longer hospitalized. No longer imprisoned. I have done what was once thought impossible. I have set fire to my dreams. I have let them out and commanded, no! Demanded, that they roam free and wide and fierce! I have declar...
