We stopped dreaming
Why is it with everything we as humans are surrounded by we stopped dreaming
We reached for the heavens when we were told it wasn't possible and we made it happen
We reached for the depths of the oceans to explore and discover things never seen before
We constantly grew as a race to become a more powerful race
We keep each other so distracted with technology, phones, television, radio, Facebook anything to keep us from seeing the beauty around us
Do something go learn something new
Why waste your one chance you have at life inside
Go for a walk
Go for a hike
Go learn a new skill
Get up and discover there are many things to see out there
Even when surrounded by friends and family I often feel empty
There isn't a connection anymore
Everyone is too busy worried about the likes they got on Instagram, or Facebook or how many people they have as friends online
Why not live in the now
There are so many things that are going on around us that we are oblivious to
This new attatchment to screens may make us more social online but has become the death of social life in the outside world
The amount of people that yo could meet, conversate, indulge in new experiences with are endless
Just really need to get out there and discover
Discover something new it's something that will help make yourself more happy
Think of it this way will you be more proud of the likes on Instagram
Or will you proud of the amazing experience you had when that photo was taken
We do things that are unnecessary to show affection to one another
It's so much better to just be open and straight to the point
Cause every worthless word we get more far away
Make every word you say count
Let someone know how you feel about them
In a sense it's a risk, but a risk is always worth taking if you've been thinking about it for a long time
I'm all over the place here listen
There will always be those butterflies in your stomach when you see her
Those won't go away get used to them
That's what I was told
It always stressed me out telling someone how I felt about them
I always asked the same questions
What if they don't like me back?
What if I lose the only relationship we have?
What if they never want to see me again?
It's hard making these decisions
Never easy
But doesn't mean I should not tell her and I will but first what I like about you
I like that when we talk it feels like we've known each other our whole lives
I can share my interests easily with you because I know you'll also like them
I love you sense of humour
I love every talent you have
You look even more beautiful with glasses than any other girl I've seen and equally amazing without them
Your wanderlust matches mine
The stars above and the ocean below amaze you
That sense is discovery and curiousness makes me want to go on a journey with you
Aha oh man the first time I saw you
My heart melted
I had butterflies
I want to tell you this in person
I wanna be your perfect man
But I don't know if I'm that guy
And my lack of confidence won't let me fly
So maybe someday I'll tell you but
For now I'll enjoy your company and like you from afar until I'm ready to ask you out
