Day 21: Hopes and Dreams

Hello stranger,

It's been a while. A lot of things have changed... I guess. Just recently, my friend lent me her 'Twilight' book to read. (Which was covered with the world map because she was embarrassed that she had it. Now doesn't that say a lot.) So anyway like a good friend, I told her I'll read it. And I did. I was. I didn't have time to finish reading it because my friend suddenly wanted to read it again. But seriously, apart from the fact that the protagonist is obsessed with some creature that sparkles under the sun and apparently calls himself a 'vampire', it's not such a bad read.

So on to the topic that I've been putting off for decades. What do you hope and dream for? There's a difference, of course. Okay, I'll tell you a little bit of mine. Let's start with my hopes, shall we? Well for starters, I hope that all the disasters and catastrophes of this world would end. Because it's hurting a lot of people. And I know there's really nothing much we can do about it especially with natural disasters, but maybe we can start by being a little nicer to Mother Nature? For the past sixteen years I never really gave much thought about how bad some people's actions are affecting our world, it wasn't until recently when we all heard about the Japan tsunami and earthquake that I thought, "Man, we really are all screwed up."

I would be lying if I said I'm not afraid. I am. I'm afraid of what's going to happen next, I'm afraid for the people who will be affected, I'm afraid for myself, for the people I care about, for everyone. Then again this is when we find out if the world is really coming to its end, although I still believe the theory to be an utter hoax. I believe that what's happening to the world is somewhat in our hands. If only we tried a little harder to make an effort on making the world a better place, if only we stopped caring about any other unnecessary things... If only it was that easy for everyone. I just hope that one day, things will get a lot better from now.

As for my dreams, it's pretty simple. I dream to live care-free. I dream to share my music with everyone. To be be heard. To let people know that I existed. To be remembered. To prove to people that there's so many things that I can do, and that I will succeed. To make everybody who ever underestimated me regret that they ever did. To make my parents proud, and let them know that I'm not choosing music only to disappoint them. I dream to be a better person. To be able to make something great out of what I've been given. I dream to be happy.

There are so many beautiful things out there that don't even get appreciated. It's about time some people get over themselves and just CHILL, you know? We have all the time in the world. And if we care enough to want to make the most of it, we can make it through. The reward will be very much worth it. You'll see.
