Do you ever think about how much music affects our lives? I was just listening to some music and I just thought WOW, music brings back all kinds of memories...
The past is the past and we all grow up and move on, but when you listen to music that you used to listen to a long time ago, it brings back so much memories about those times and tugs at your heart. I love that feeling, and I love even more that I can look back at memories of myself when I was younger and smile about it, not regretting anything I've done. I feel like I've learned so much and grown up and matured in just the 2 years that I've been away from home but I still have a long way to go to being the person that I ultimately want to become.
I feel like I'm not that innocent little girl I used to be a couple years ago. I've learned about life, relationships, and myself. I've learned that I'm so much stronger than I ever believed I was, and that I can get through any obstacle that is thrown in my way to reach my goals. In the past I've felt like I could not go own, that life was so unfair, and I must be the only person in the world who was feeling so much pain. I really believed that it was too hard and I was going to give up. But looking back now, I realize that no matter how bad I felt, how discouraged and down I was, I still got through those times and I have come out a better, stronger, and more confident person than I was before. I am lucky enough to have such great support persons and wonderful parents who have always encouraged me to pursue my dreams and reach beyond my goals to be the best person that I can be and more. I think the most valuable lesson I have learned from my parents is that, you can only reach as far as your dreams. If you dream small, then you will reach small results, but if you dream big, you will achieve big results. You are only as big as your dream. This is why I've always learned to dream big, on a gigantic scale. I dream that I will make a big change and a huge contribution to the world someday, in some specific way. Some people laugh at my dreams and say that it may be impossible or I may be crazy, but who's to say really? If I never dream big dreams...I will never achieve big results...and I want to reach the top.
One of my favorite quotes since I was a little girl is, "Reach for the moon. Even if you miss, you'll land among the stars." I remember the first time I ever saw this quotes was on the wall of my sixth grade classroom, and ever since then it has always stuck with me in the back of my mind. It reminds me that no matter what, I should always reach for the top, strive to be the best, and to accomplish the impossible because I have got nothing to lose, and EVERYTHING to gain.
