The most arduous battle in life is accepting you won’t always get what you want.

If you’re looking for perfection, you won’t get it from me. For perfection diminishes creativity to where it ceases to exist. If you’re looking for strength, then understand it’s only a figment of your imagination. If you’re looking for love, stop... instead, surround yourself with those who love you.

Accepting defeat is a gift very few understand. Many don’t even want to gravitate towards it, because it’s terrifying. It’s downright frightening to know you’ll be brought back down the totem pole. You probably already spent most of your life building into something indomitable. Why start over? Well, when the day comes that you look in the mirror and you ultimately realize you don’t like the person who’s staring back... perhaps all that you’ve built suddenly doesn’t seem so perfect.

That’s the weight a dream carries, and no matter where you go, how you get there, or even how long it took... the dream will always weigh you down. It’s a reminder you’re worth more than a measly paycheck scoffed by monthly premiums.

Though the question still lingers on your mind. What if I fail? What if I don’t get the job? What if my infatuation doesn’t love me back? What if I drown amid my desires? The answer to all those questions is, if it happens, learn. If you break, heal. If you fall, rise back up. If you take shit for what you believe in, then eat it. The world doesn’t stop because you took a beating. No, it reminds you every day like a permanent scar, either physically or mentally. You can walk away or you can keep fighting. Because I assure you someone out there cares. They may not always speak, show up, or do what’s expected of them, but when the time comes, they will always be by your side. If they aren’t then learn. Because Everyone Matters. Those who cannot see that should be left alone.

I build my stories to inspire through tales of fiction that will strike you emotionally. Some say crying is for the weak and flexing is for the strong, I say that’s bullshit. We are all created equal with a heart that is built for love and unity. To ignore that simple fact is the only weakness there is. So embark on my endeavor to the worlds of creativity that will heighten your senses and expand your appreciation for the simple things in life. For this is the start of my story.
