Believe in yourself so much that even when there's no one to back you up,you'll still stand firm,
Do you know of the sweet pleasure of doing something people say you can't do?
Wow its soooooo pleasurable!!!,I'm lacking better terms here,
But believe me,it is.
Inspired by the Walter Bagehot quote which says "the greatest pleasure in life is doing what people say you can't do"
By the way,Greater is He who's in you than he who's in the world.
Because in the end,
we all just want to love & be loved.
I have slowly but surely fallen in love with poetry.

I love the truth of the raw, cutting words that I can write.
I love the ability of using words to bleed, to express, to encapsulate a moment.
I love the feeling of release, relief and self-happiness that it brings me.
I love the peace of mind.
Poetry soothes my soul, allows me to breathe, allows my mind to wander for a brief period of time.
It allows me to think, to be more than myself, to say exactly how I feel and  not feel embarrassed or ashamed.
I love the voices in my head when I think deeply. I love the way my hand moves effortlessly because the words come so quickly.
I love reading poetry. It truly fascinates me, the way another's mind works and thinks. It captivates me when I can feel their emotions through their words.

I find myself when I write poems. I can paint my mind in writing, and create masterpieces.
I can see life a little clearer and a little brighter.

Fall in love with words.
Fall in love with poetry.
What do I want out of life?
Where will I be in ten years time?
How am I supposed to follow my passion if I haven't discovered mine yet?*

Readers, it's okay to be lost. It's okay to walk straight into the unknown. It's okay to be dangerously spontaneous, because hey, what's life without a little fun?
Embrace the beauty of uncertainty. Trust in yourself. Trust in God.

I want to live more than an average life, and I hope you do too.
We all seek something strange so satisfy those adrenalized thrills..
Trust life's timing.
If it was meant to be, it will be.
To anyone reading these words:
You are enough.
You are worth it.
You are brave.

*I am so proud of you, and you should be too.
