some dreams live on in time forever
those dreams,you want with all your heart
and i will do whatever it takes
follow through with the promise i made
put it all on the line
what i hoped for at last would be mine
if i could reach,higher
just for one moment touch the sky
from that one moment in my life
i am gonna be stronger
know that i have tried my very best
i would put my spirit to the test
if i could reach
some days are meant to be remembered
those days we rise above the stars
so i will go the distance this time
seeing more the higher i climb
that the more i believe
all the more that this dream would be mine

Seldom,very seldom does complete truth belong to any human disclosure; seldom can it happen that something is not a little disguised,or a little mistaken.

Talking much about oneself can also be a means to conceal oneself.

We may envy some people who seem to lead picture-perfect lives.
They land themselves in an exciting glam job; somehow manage to be beautiful effortlessly; get hitched to an unbelievably wonderful other half; are born with rich doting parents; are forever fit as a fiddle and lead super healthy lifestyles.
People who possess all of the above and more should not even exist. Or at least don’t let me happen to meet one of them haha.
It’s probably in our human nature to do the “oh,why doesn’t that take place to me” thing and give a big sigh afterwards.
But oh well,nothing is perfect (if you believe that God is fair). Really pointless to see the good in other people’s lives but not in your own. What makes our own life unique is its own set of ups and downs. So take time to embrace to low moments too. Maybe life wouldn’t seem all that bad if we quit the habit of envying others and lamenting about our so-called pathetic existence. It is all too easy to do that but instead it is difficult to tune our mindsets the other way round. We often have to remind ourselves to be grateful for what we have that others don’t.
I am sure you can find something that you know you are really fortunate to have. And that makes you the luckiest person on earth. :)
