just go for it

stop waiting
just go for it

i find myself often sitting and contemplating my life, and the direction its going in.
ive been working in the same field since i was 18, convinced (maybe idealistically so) that if i work hard enough, and with enough passion that one day someone will recognize me for it.
this someone will then help lift me to where i want to go.
this someone knows that my passion, and belief in my dreams will never die- no matter how many rejections i receive.
this someone will give me 'that one shot' that will open countless doors.
this someone acknowledges my gifts, and wants to help me feed them.
this someone is meant to cross my path.
and this someone will lead me in a new dynamic direction.

i dont know who this someone is, what they will look like, or anything about them at all. all i do know is that my hopes and dreams used to lie in this proverbial persons hands.
but as more time goes on, ive realized my thinking was flawed.

why put so much in the hands of a stranger?
i consider myself to be more motivated about my own goals and dreams than any other person could ever possibly be- so then why would i expect someone to share my fire? we each, respectively, represent the single most passionate person in regards to our own dreams.

i am the only one who is set on fire when i think of what i can accomplish.
you are the only one who is set on fire when you think of what you can accomplish.

fuck someone- all i got is me..

We are the ones we've been waiting for.
