Cross My Heart - Inspired by UP

Love makes us do crazy things. It inspires us to not only chase our own dreams but to fulfill the dreams of others. Though colors fade, seasons change, and dust collects, dreams always manage to resiliently remain in our hearts. Others tell me that my dreams are impossible, but there are so many people we run into, lessons we learn, and feelings we experience that tell me otherwise. Following the heart isn't necessarily easy. But, I admit, it certainly makes me feel alive; like I have a purpose in life.

My dreams are simply unachieved goals. When I set my sights on something or someone, I exert my all to get it. Unfortunately, that could also be my undoing. However, I'm the one who decides to take action, even if I am deemed unrealistic, insane or irrational. Many say that I could just be wasting my time, but to me, if I think it's worthwhile reason to fly, it's NEVER a waste of my time. Like I said before, "...my heart is telling me to fly freely. If I crash and burn, then the thrill of flight was worth the demise."

My dreams are as crazy as that floating house, but they are MY dreams. I want to climb to the summit, but I don't want to do it alone. Once I'm up there, I gotta be able to crave more out of life... but for now, it's time to carry my dreams.

To those who have a quiet dream, don't leave it on the shelf. Look in your adventure book and remind yourself that it's YOU that needs to live this life. If there's something in life you want, get it. Life is too short to wallow in the what-if's.

If you see me in my floating house, I can care less if you think I'm crazy. I want to fly UP and over the mundane. If you see the ground, then it means there's nowhere else but up.

UP. UP and away I go...

Come fly with me.
