#believe in your dreams

And I want to believe that I’m not mad. That being sad is only for sad people. I’m not like them? I’m worse. Crying here in my lonely world praying that the sun consumes my tears before nightfall - before what’s ugly in me keeps me awake, on edge, gasping the bitter darkness in this world which chokes me.

You’re too young, you don’t know what you want, you spent four years of your life in college for the job you have right now, no one will approve. 

These are a few reasons you shouldn’t take the risk to build the life you want.

But you can’t live your life by shouldn’t. Don’t make decisions based on what you can’t do. Fuck can’t.

There will always be reasons why you shouldn’t do what you love. 

No matter how big or “true” the reason you have to decide whether you’ll give in to it or break free.

You don’t have to quit your job to start taking action toward your goal. You don’t have to leave college either.

You might not even be one-hundred percent sure this vision really is your dream.

But you have to try anyway.

I do know my worth, and yet, people seem to overlook my artworks for some reason. It does discourage me sometimes, but I’ll keep on painting and strive to improve myself even if no one notices my value.
