Lj Idol Week 20- Playing House
You will notice me, you wait and see.
I've never been much to play by the rules. I have this thing with barriers, I think they suck. I've always been one who thinks outside of the box, one who doesn't just go and do what people say. I have dreams, big ones, and I'll never let someone dictate to me whether or not I can do them.
My parents were not the encouraging type who told me I could do whatever I wanted to. They didn't say much at all, in terms of my goals. They said I was rushing things when I wanted to study for the SAT during my sophomore year of high school. They didn't really let me do sports, because I change my mind about things too often. That's my downfall, I guess. I want to do it all, and there is so MUCH to do, that I don't stay on one thing for very long.
I wanted to be an artist when I received second place in an art contest in second grade. I wanted to be a singer after my uncle told me I could sing when I was 10. I wanted to be a writer after being told I could put words together in sixth grade. I've wanted to do everything career wise, from a vet, to a doctor, to a lawyer, to home decorator.
I will prove you wrong. If you think I'm all talk, you're in for a shock.
People laugh it off, say that I'm just a big dreamer. But me? I know that I will do something more than what everyone thinks I will. I'm not meant to play house, or play by the rules. I'm meant to dream big, and conquer the world, my dreams, and make this place better than ever.
I have big dreams, really big dreams. There are still people who don't think I'll ever do what I say I will. But, I know that I can. I know that in ten years, hell, in five years, I'll be who I want to be. I'll change the world. I'm going to save someone's life, I'm going to give someone hope, I'm going to inspire someone, because it's the only thing I want to do. I want to change the world for the better, I want to put a little more love, a little more hope, some more dreams, inspiration, and laughter in the world.
I want to do something that matters,
say something different,
something that sets the whole world on its ear.
I want to do something better
with the time I've been given.
I want to try to touch a few hearts in this life.
I want to do nothing less than something
that says....
I was here.
