How does it feel to know that you are one careful, productive day away from everything you have ever wanted?
Would you still want it?
Do you still want it?
When you reach out your hand, do you feel it?
How much coincidence will you need, or is it really there?
Everyone has dreams. Some are images of fame and fortune. But some, those few that you can feel, they are the ones that wake you up at night. They keep you from straying because you are always within arms reach. What will you do once you cross that bridge?
Are there more bridges? Will you be trading your dreams for more dreams? Will it be worth it?
I guess you are going to find out. Because that checklist that you keep from the world is always within arms reach.
Just Reach

Change the World
I fear that one day I will not be able to wake up and fight against the day. I fear that one day I will not be able to continue learning and improving myself. I feel like I am under constant pressure, and I know that one day that pressure will be released. Unfortunately, that pressure is what I enjoy most about life.
Maybe I am afraid of death, but only because it is a stop. I do not like to be in a constant state of stillness. I am a creature that does not like to stop being in constant motion. That motion is what allows me to be free. Stopping to me brings out all of the weaknesses and vulnerabilities that I fight against.
When I look at children I understand their world, I understand their simplicity, their curiosity, and that world exists in my mind too. But it is constantly bombarded with uncontrollable analysis and micromanagement of complex scenarios that are randomly arranged and make up the simple world.
This is where I lose the simple world, and this is where I start to try to fix the world. Putting things right leads to a simplicity. I think this is why I try so hard to improve, I want to fix the world and the only way to start is to live it.
Most people are put off by this, they do not like to be put under constant scrutiny. Most people are happy with what they have because they do not believe in their own potential. They are afraid to risk what they have, to get what will make them happy. Happiness is worth the risk.
So what am I afraid of
