Don't sacrifice your dreams

We are caught up in a world where other's people perception of ourselves are given way too much power or in simple words, too much attention. 

How many times have you let go of a long awaited dream or aspiration just because you are afraid of what people are going to say about you? 

May it be your partner, your best friend, your classmates or even your own family. 

We let go of beloved things in order to receive their approval. 

We stop doing what we love in the fear of being called stupid.

We are taught to stop dreaming, to stop believing, to adapt to an on-going system of oppression. 

They make sure that we are left alone until the very last drop of magic is taken away from us. 

Without realizing how fragile life is, we are right here but tomorrow we might not.

Are we even living our lives? or are we simply maintaining the image people created of ourselves? 

I know how you feel because I've been there. 

It took me long enough to realize that I was living in the shadows. 

I'm calling all the daydreamers, the black sheep, the forgotten, the overlooked and anybody's who's dream has been belittled. 

It's our time to stand up and fight for what we believe in!

Smile,

You are strong and capable.
