I'll Define 'Awesome' for you


Giving in isn't so bad

To the desires of what you want out of life, what you want to

Achieve

Every day, drained but determined to

Push, work,

Achieve my goals

I want to become whole, to continue to learn

I want to feel, just feel what accomplishment, what happiness feels like

I pray, I hope, I dream, to one day

Achieve

I want my heart to flutter with emotion and my face to flush with color

I want to rise above myself, to become a better version of myself

I just want to

Achieve completion

Life, like a game, gives it's rewards, it's penalties

Full of objectives, once fulfilled, we receive

Achievements

 

So what's so awesome?

The courage, the drive, the steadfastness of our being

To strive to be something greater than ourselves

To give ourselves the push to move forward, to fly beyond all expectations of us

To achieve everything, to make the effort to achieve everything we set out to do

That is truly what is awesome.
