Such a simple phrase to say but an even harder one to feel. Feelings, they've plagued me to no end this past year and don't show any signs of letting up. In all honesty however I wouldn't have it any other way, I enjoy the tests of will and virtue. Now with this newest and final school year approaching I feel like I have reached my culminating point in which I will become who I'm meant to be for the rest of my life. No more dilly dallying, no more delay, I want it all right now and I'm tired of biding my time. In "The Art Of War" the military scholar Sun Tzu states that a warrior must "act on instict and take what he wants, thus he will defeat the enemy at hand". I take much of what I learn from these ancient philosophers who saw the world through much more than their own eyes. I hope to be able to use my knowledge to stand the test of time and inspire future generations. Always thinking ahead, never looking back. I have this strange feeling deep inside and I want to act but I don't know how. I've been lost for so long in the dark and the light has always looked so pretty, but I have never been able to reach it. I don't want to stare in awe for the rest of my life and be a slackjawed zombie. No, that is not me. If opportunity knocks, I'll greet it as if we were the best of friends.
Funny thing about chips on your shoulder: they can always be eaten.
Peace.
