Defying gravity

I got to thinking tonight about how much we've all changed, and yet how much we are still the same. Here we are three years into the real world and some of us have gotten so far, while others have stayed behind. Some of us have created different journeys for ourselves than we imagined before. Some of us have found lovers, some of us gotten married, some of us gotten jobs, some of us studying for that career we've worked so hard for. Some of us are on our own, some of us not so much. But really in the end it comes down to what is in our souls and in our hearts.

Here we are, on the eve of adulthood and sometimes it feels like this road we call life, only continues to wind farther and farther away from where we thought we'd be. Here we are, wondering which decision to make, wondering how to keep surviving, wondering which people to say yes to, which people to tell no, which ideas to keep and which to throw away. It's time to try defining gravity. It's time to move towards all that we want and push away all that hinders us. It's time for us to stand up and make something of ourselves. It's time to move toward what we want and what we believe in. We must find that higher strength and push towards what we believe is real and true.

It's that time in our lives where we must stand up for what we believe in, because if we don't we will look back twenty years from now and shed a tear for the lost action that we long to recreate. We are young, passionate, and ready for our lives to begin.
