there's those intoxicating moments that you know you'll never get back. so you just feel. and take in the moment, wishing it would never go away. but deep inside, you know it will end.

i miss the small innocence of children. they are such dreamers, unaffected by the world around them. so next time someone asks me how i want to be when i grow up, i'm going to say i want to be exactly like how i was when i wasn't grown up at all. i honestly thought i could do ANYTHING. and the truth is, i can. what happened to those days?

this word has become increasingly meaningful to me. i say it daily. and i'm incorporating it into my life. i want to bring smiles and laughter, and hope to people. somehow, someway. i've always wanted to be a barrier breaker. a soul keeper. i've always wanted to be someone. i think in some way i'll always be searching for something. but for now, i'm waiting desperately to break down barriers and to prove what i'm capable of, not that it's needed.
