I want to tell you something, and it may just be something.

I want to tell you about a special person who only knew what they'd been taught.

This person was someone who at times struggled, struggled with themselves and how they lived in this world,

like most people today.

For this person, there was so much external pressures in society, they had lost who they really were.

But who were they? As a child, they thought everything was possible.

Whatever they wanted to be, they could be. It wouldn't be hard. It'd be like a story,

a fantasy film of their ideal life. As that child, it seemed like there was no limitations,

just boundless thinking, where they lived in the moment, and they just knew everything would be

exactly how they wanted it to be.

They would have the career, the family, the happiness, the ideal home, and a wonderful

life we all dreamt as a child.

But as time went on, something happened, and it wasn't one thing that changed it, that

stopped these beautiful dreams.

They just slowly crept in.

It is as if the more they grew, the more they forgot about how their life would be perfect.

Their experiences, they began to realize they had to live a certain way, to look a certain

way and to act in a certain way. People said they had to be

realistic. They had to get real. They couldn't be the person they once thought they would,

as they were told they were living in a fantasy world. They began to buy into external pressures

like everyone else. They began to buy into the opinions of people that were around them and society's expectations

of how they should be.
