Dare

Dreams are fragile things. They are to be held with a delicate hand, careful not to crush. They can be imagined all in a blink of an eye and sometimes gone within seconds. Don't be dismayed however. Dreams are wonderful, and something amazing to experience. The risk of having a dream is a little thrilling to the people who seek. As Herb Brooks once said, "We should be dreaming. We grew up as kids having dreams, but now we're too sophisticated as adults, as a nation. We stopped dreaming. We should always have dreams."

Snow

The snow falls gently over the frozen ground. It looks so beautiful, seeing the crystals in the snow that sparkle as the sun rises or sets. This majestic scene makes everything that goes on in the world seem so obsolete. The snow is just a metaphor for life almost. It can be so beautiful and magical looking at it, but only at certain times when the sun hits it just right. Once you step outside into the snow, however, it awakens you. The snow is cold to the touch, making your whole body shiver if you stay out to long. You have to protect yourself against this cold weather, bundle up and be prepared. Always be prepared for what life will have to throw at you. Sometimes you may not like it, and it can be hard. If you tough it out, you will be able to see the beauty and magic in life. Just like the snow has to offer you if you look for it.

Beyond the stars

Dreaming of what lies beyond the stars is what everyone does. Everyone wishes to believe in a better life after death. The afterlife is one thing that scares people about dying. Choosing to believe in a wonderful blissful place is the choice of the person, but just the thought of being with loved ones who have passed is wonderful. Losing a brother, parents and a son. A man dies and is able to be with them. To be with a son he never met, parents he has been so long without, and a brother who he lost so close to his own death. Having to leave your beloved ones behind is hard, and to fight and lose is even harder. To be with your other loved ones again though is a blessing. No one will forget you, just waiting to be embraced by the hugs you give when able to see you again.

Don't be afraid of spreading your wings. Many people will try to bring you down but don't let them ever do it. You own your life, you decide your own fate. It will be hard, but everything worth wild in this world is worth fighting for.
