Paths of Dreams, Choices, and Reality

We all have choices in our life that have made us who we are. We all had that one choice that shaped us. And we all wondered about what we dreamed, what we had to choose, and what we never imagined. [[Start]]

Life is simpler in colors. Everything complex brought down to a singular property. Most of my life choices have been black and white. Simple and made under the guise of someone else's hand. Until the [[blue]], the [[red]], and the [[green]] painted their way into my life.

(text-color:"blue")[I think I found the closest thing to a dream. There's the notion of a universe created just for me. [[Friends|1ba]]. [[Family|1bb]]. They all gather here.]

(text-color:"red")[I am at the point where I make my own decisions. Gone are the days of waiting for arrived solutions. Yet before me still lay [[legacy|1ra]] and [[expectation|1rb]]. ]

(text-color:"green")[I always knew the first place I landed on is where I would be living. I saw the glimpses of a future where I was thriving. I came [[running|1ga]]. What I didn't come was [[knowing|1gb]].]

(text-color:"blue")[Every friend that has ever meant something to me is here. Moving on has always been such a crippling fear. But with this life, I could jump [[blindly|1bA]].]

(text-color:"blue")[I've got my family [[behind me|grad]]. A smile that knows this is the person I was always meant to be. They all know me so fluently. I can't think of a reason to not trust [[blindly|1bA]].]

(text-color:"blue")[I think of all the ways I'm going to be happy. What I fantastic [[future|1bc]] I have yet to see. I'm not looking at the nitty-gritty. Why would I when the big picture is put together so [[perfectly.|1bd]] Here, I can live perfectly.]

(text-color:"blue")[I run away with any dream I believe. I run away with ideas that lead to the life that I have set out to be. It's scary to face the world alone but I don't feel lonely. Not here. I've got the people I've always known and the dream I always seen. What is so wrong with this [[dream|1be]]?]

(text-color:"blue")[I'm trying to see my future but I'm the only one making it clear. The possibility of this being something that was never to be held is what I'm coming to see. After all the stress, I deserve peace. Happy with friends, family, and this longed for dream. Everything I think I deserve lives [[here|1be]].]

(text-color:"blue")[The dreams I can carry. I try to carry it all but I'm too clumsy. I dont know when I dropped this dream. I hope there is another one awaiting [[me|1brestart]].]

Life is simpler in colors. Everything complex brought down to a singular property. Most of my life choices have been blue, black and white. Simple and made under the guise of someone else's hand or the of life a self that I am not. Until the [[red|1b2r]], and the [[green|1b2g]] painted their way into my life.

(text-color:"red")[I am at the point where I make my own decisions. Gone are the days of waiting for arrived solutions, or sitting in my dream like simulations. Yet before me still lay [[legacy|1b2ra]] and [[expectation|1b2rb]]. ]

(text-color:"green")[The dream does not always work, so I'm restarting. I always knew the first place I landed on is where I would be living. I saw the glimpses of a future where I was thriving. I came [[running|1b2ga]]. What I didn't come was [[knowing|1b2gb]].]

(text-color:"red")[Knowing I had the possibility of ruining my life did not cause me much caution. But the [[weight of a name|1b2rsaturday nights]] is cause for hesitation. The need to conform, to love something undeniably, reguardless if that's the plan I wanted, is the defintion of [[suffocation|1b2rA]].]

(text-color:"red")[I am making the choices that everyone has been waiting for, not the ones I have waiting for; sitting with baited expressions. The pressure to perform is constant and powerful in its consumption. It feels like I am falling, without any ground zero [[plans|1b2rA]] set in motion.] (click-replace:"everyone has been waiting for")[everyone has been waiting for, not the ones I have waiting for]

(text-color:"red")[The truth of all this is staring me in the face without any discretion. In this life, this dream you either end up [[victorious|1b2rc]] or end up [[wiser|1br2d]]; thats how learning from life gets its validation. Pick what one you want and make the declaration.]

(text-color:"red")[I screamed from the streets like my future is finally in posession. Letting the boulevard sing out with only praises and dedications. Maybe the choices I won over had hardships, but was worth the [[anticipation|1b2re]].]

(text-color:"red")[Running around in circles and beating my head against the same wall takes a certain fixation. Growing from the places I get stuck in takes concentration and meditation. I want a life where I can get [[somewhere|1b2re]] without the anxiety hesitation.]

(text-color:"red")[Being at peace with life take more practice before it is put into action. I find myself forced into facts when I live in a world of my own imagination. I'm learning to take both of those world and create a life-wide [[unification|1b2rrestart]].]

Life is simpler in colors. Everything complex brought down to a singular property. Most of my life choices have been blue, red, black, and white. Simple and made under the guise of someone else's hand. Until the [[green|1b2r3g]] painted its way into my life.

(text-color:"green")[Going through life is an act of proving. Proving that I can ignore the noise and start my own trail blazing, come out of broken dream like a phoenix rising. I was silly to think I knew how the world was [[turning|1b2r3gA]].]

(text-color:"green")[I am a full force hurricane, speeding and destroying. I make my way through life [[exploring|1b2r3gA]]. I knew all the dreaming and imaginary universe creating would lead to inner unearthing.]

(text-color:"green")[I faced what might be the greatest event in my defining. I've got all these dreams and choices with me and they are constantly changing. [[Hopeless|1b2r3gc]] to [[exuberant|1b2r3gd]], always churning.]

(text-color:"green")[Reality was designed to be upsetting. Or maybe [[dreams|1b2r3ghomecoming]] were designed too uplifting. In recent days I felt lonelier than I ever remember feeling. I keeping returning to the dream I had made up, the one I'd drop everything for and start rearranging. There are a million different ways to live a life and they are all so [[perplexing|1b2r3ge]].]

(text-color:"green")[Joy, after eveything, seeps in through the working. I've got people in my life smiling. Pride is a ghost that does not haunt frequently, but I am open to it [[starting|1b2r3ge]].]

(text-color:"green")[My mind is made and the stone setters are carving. Alone in my choices but not in my living. The reality is set and it's time to start [[dreaming|ENDING]].]

I've seen color now. If I was cut open the world would spill out. What was once black and white is now in color.

I remember Saturday nights, sitting with family, watching my dad root on Temple's football team. Cherry and white flasing on the screen, causing a celebration or fustration from my dad. "Randi, whatever college you choice, know that I won't be disappointed.It's not your mom's school versus mine." [[.|temple image]]

It was so perfect that day. The air was warm and the sky was setting like a dream. "We are so proud of you." My mom said to me, my dad beaming as he takes photos nonstop. Drapped in a golden robe and cap, I stood on a spring afternoon facing the rest of my life. The sound of mourning doves filtering in memories of childhood. [[.|grad image]]

I'm coming to the conclusion that I'm not always alone. I have to remind myself of the people behind me. Yet the dreams I've left still come to let go linger. Most of them remind me of home. I remember Saturday nights, sitting with family, watching my dad root on Temple's football team. Cherry and white flasing on the screen, causing a celebration or fustration from my dad. "Randi, whatever college you choice, know that I won't be disappointed.It's not your mom's school versus mine." [[.|1b2rtemple image]]

I'm coming to the conclusion that I'm not always alone. I have to remind myself of the people behind me. Yet the dreams I've left still come to let go linger. Most of them remind me of home. In all the paths I could have taken, I ended here. Through the lonely nights and the happy days, I am who I am because of it all. I carry all the people who have shaped me with me.

"Hey, sweetie. How are you feeling?" "Okay, I guess. Just missing you guys right now." I miss people who know me. All shades of me. College is for making friends that last a lifetime, but they don't know my whole life at this time. I just want that kind of connection again. I need it. I'm trying to make this work like its suppose to; like I always planned in my head for it to. Misery loves familiar company. [[.|1b2gem bday image]]
