Find your wayout of darkness

 tell me what I can’t do, what won’t happen or what isn’t possible.

I’ve lived my entire life listening to everyone trying to tell me how to act or who to be..

I’m done living life by the rules of others-

It’s left me empty inside, devoid of purpose and meaning..

And I refuse to live without purpose, passion or principles.

Sure, I know it will be hard blazing my own trail and going a different direction,

But what joy is there in playing small?

No, I’m choosing today to open my eyes to the possibilities and close my ears to everyone trying to hold me back.

This is my life and my happiness, so I’m taking that power back and making my own way.

I don’t have all the answers- some days, none at all, but I know that I need more than to simply exist.

I’ll surround myself with everyone who wants more out of life..call them weirdos, misfits, wild or freethinkers.

I’ll call them my people- the ones that listen to their hearts, chase their dreams and live each day with unbridled passion.

I’m tired of looking for the right answers in the wrong places, so I’m looking where I should have all along:

Inside me.

I know I’ll have hard days when the sun doesn’t shine and nothing goes right, but those will be times when I forge my indomitable spirit and iron will.

I don’t care if I fall, I just won’t stay down.

So, if you can’t seem to find me, look outside the ordinary and you just might catch a glimpse of me chasing the stars.

This life was meant to be lived, so that’s just what I’m going to do.

With a smile on my face, wind in my hair and passion in my soul, there’s nothing I can’t achieve..it all starts with me.
