A simple realization...

When we were in Florida I received the bad news that I did not receive the Gates Scholarship. Dejected, I attempted to talk to my teacher. I will not disclose the contents of our conversation, but I will discuss one thought that enlightened me. I can't quote word for word but basically, the conversation was about my generation versus generations before. The idea that my generation, that people my age has been so consumed by convenience. That we fail to see the consequences, until it's staring us right in the face. I guess that's where the sense of urgency is derived from consequences. With such convenience and sugar coating from both school and home, individuals do not realize the real world. We think we can grasp an idea of how life works, but we all lack the experience. High school will end. Life moves on. Drama. Is a memory. Stress/Work. Builds character. Low points. Opportunity to rise. That's that. Enough.

I personally have lost my mind and socially incline. I have no self confidence. I don't got the courage to stand my own ground. How long will I go on saying this to myself. It's enough with the self realizations and on with action. How long will I go on saying this to myself.

Be the change you you want to see in the world. Love thy neighbor as oneself. Words quoted over and over and over again. It's an unwritten rule. Main point YOU! It all starts with the individual. You want something to happen, you want a reaction, an answer, you need to pose take action, set the trigger, and pose the question!

Honestly...
HOW LONG?
