Follow Your Dreams

We all dream. All of us. We all dream of different things. We dream of events, getaways, objects, a new path, or of the latest gadgets. As a child, we dream differently--per say, we dream of the latest and coolest toys. In adulthood, we dream of the future, of having a house and a wonderful family. Whatever it is that we had dreamed, that dream causes us to kick it in second gear and move forward, towards that goal. What is it that drives us? Motivates us? Our dreams.

I personally believe that each person needs at least one main dream in their life, in order to succeed and be happy in life. You can pass away saying "I did it, I accomplished my goals and fulfilled my dreams." A person without ambitions is a lost soul. A person without a dream, is a wondering mind, that is waiting to be found. If you have no dream, find one. One that is dear to you. What is the most meaningful thing in your life? Apply that to your dreams.

Dreams can only be achieved by those who want it most. In the adventure to achieve dreams, we run into obstacles. Some are taken down by the obstacle, some overcome it. Those who overcome it, are the ones that wanted it most, and didn't give up. "If the going gets tough, the tough gets going." Only those that want it most, will be able to endure the obstacles and overcome it.

Sometimes we dream and we fall. Some fall, and never get back up again. Some fall, and rise a thousand times stronger. If an obstacle brings you down in achieving your dreams, just rise, and try again, because "it doesn't matter how many times you fall, it matters how many times you rise."

I am determined. I will conquer my dreams and hold my trophy high. I will do it for my loved ones. The "going gets hard," but in the end, the juice will be worth the squeeze.

Up in the Air

Ahh everything is up in the air right now. Not in a bad way, in a good way that is. I don't really want to say anything right now, as things need to be kept to myself, until things are clear. Let's just say, someone from a long time ago, came back into my life, and things are going quite well. And the rest is history I guess. Come at me life! I'm ready for the surprises. I haven't been surprised in a while, until life and love currently took a quick 180 degree turn on me. I'm ready for the new course that life is taking on me. Until then, everything is up in the air.

Life goes on..

The journey begins...


So I've read up somewhere that writing blog is a semi-remedy to such symptoms of sadness and pain. So I've decided to give it a try. Hell, it doesn't hurt to actually have something to look back on right? Kind of like a time capsule.

Currently on summer right now, and this is actually the first summer that I've taken off, during the 4 years of college. I actually took it off for several reasons. One reason was to pre-study for some of my computer engineer classes, which is going well. Another reason is to take a break from the horrific/tedious studying I had to do while I was in school. Lastly, to spend time with my girlfriend, whom is now my ex. And she is the reason why I created this blog in the first place.

It's been almost a year since we've been in this relationship, whether officially or not, it's been that long. People say that relationships are usually rocky, and then it's smooth sailing. For some reason our relationship has been rocky the whole entire trip. We make compromises and promises to do this and that, but it hardly ever works out. It's just very sad to see a relationship like this go down the drain, because I really love her, but I guess there's an end to everything right? And even though I did break it up, I do miss her for everything that she is. She was the apple of my eye, the other half of me, my eyes, my strength, and the joy in my life. Despite the many arguments that we endured, she was everything, and more.

I feel like a part of me has left, and I know that a part of me did leave. I've told her how I felt, and poured my heart out; however, I was ignored. There's no other pain like the pain of being told "you'll never be replaced," but being told otherwise. It hurts to believe that you'll forever be loved by them, and never replaced, yet know that they are able to replace you. I guess I'm just another guy.
During the week, we've gotten back together and broke up again. During these times, I worked on a few songs. None of which are complete, because I don't have much desire to finish it anymore, except the goodbye song.

Here's the lyrics from my "Dreams" song, which is incomplete.
"Dreams..
Livin this dream,
right next to my queen.
Always dreamed high--
aimed sky
now i'm higha than a fien.

And I ain't gon lie.
your love, like a drug..
Make me wanna fly. High high high.
For a long time
you been afar
and been on my mind.
So far,
reached for the stars--
closer to my dime.

I'm in love,
AKA, head ova heels.
I been drugged,
and I love how it feels.
I'm a flame..
you're my fuel,
and I feel
like I'm healed

From the pain,
and the game--
That I gained,
from the EX, ya see.
You're my extacy...
and I can't believe--

that you tamed..
and you slain..
The beast in me..
That feasts in me..

Hah

You're my eyes,
you're my wings,
you're my everything.

All that i need,
can't you see--
you're my dream.

You're my speed,
when I'm slow.
you're my soul,
when I'm gone.

and when I'm gone,
love still burnin strong."

Yup..those are the lyrics. She asked for a dedication, and this was the dedication that I was working on. I will be finishing this song, but everything after the posted lyrics will have no relevancy.

Lately been drinking a lot during the past week because of this milestone in my life. Been trying to find something to cheer me up, and the only things I've been resorting to are Family Guy and Cabal. But even so, I don't even feel like playing Cabal anymore. I just want to go back to school, get my study on, tutor people, and keep myself busy. The past week has been downhill for me and I've been holding off on my weightlifting. It's time to take that anger and sadness out on the workout huh?

Well there's nothing left in this relationship. The only thing I can do now is to move on. Thankfully I had a person to talk to throughout this whole ordeal. Thank you Kathy for being there for me. You've always been there for me, and have been such a great help. I'm glad to have someone like you to talk to. There isn't anyone else that can relate to me so much, and share the same interests as I do. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!

It's 7:14 AM now, and I should be going to sleep. Yesterday was a sad day, but today is new day to a new start. Life is wayyy too short to be moping over something like this. I guess this blogging thing really does release some of the tension and sadness. I'll write again next time. For now, I'll escape to paradise. Dream time..and life goes on..
