stop dreaming!


I am writing today to say don’t dream!

Now I know many people say that and then go on to say things like,

 but have an end goal. Yes that is nice, but end goals change.

 I am writing today to say open opportunities and let them come in.

I have a general goal of helping people.

Whether it be as a scientist, missionary, or a doctor I never really knew.

 All I knew is that I was going to go through life looking for opportunities.

 I am going through life with the philosophy:

 “if you don’t ask the question, the asnwer’s always no”

this means why not ask?

Because failing is a lot better than a

 “what if I did this” or a what if” IN GENERAL.

I try to live life with few regrets

That’s really my end goal

I am a college graduate. just in graduate school! Whenever i stress out i express myself through my poetry. My family really doesn't know about the poems that i write, and i would like to keep it this way. I can stay one dimensional to my friends and colleagues, and have this double life as a hopeless romantic poet, and i am happy with that because poetry is really the only area where i express myself.
