I think, sometimes, maybe... we forget that we are young.
And we forget the power that comes along with that youth.
All we hear is: Feed the dog. Do your homework. Go to bed. Wake up. Be nice. Fold your arms. Don't say that. Speak up. Don't hit her. Sit up straight. Eat your broccoli. Clean your room.
When that's all you hear, it's hard to remember that to be young is to be free. Sure we have lists to do, parents to obey, and obligations to attend to, but doesn't everyone? There will never come a day when there isn't somewhere to be or someone to please. Get used to it.
At least we are free. Free in the sense that we have all the time in the world to dream, and do, and become. We are free to fight and conquer. The whole world is ahead of us. Time is on our side.
Maybe we are young and naive. Maybe we just don't know the truth about a cold world we've yet to encounter. But, at least we still believe. We still have faith that there are people out there really trying to do their best. We still have faith in our abilities and our dreams.
There's a certain power that comes with that faith. There's a power that comes with knowing you're choice and there's something of great importance in knowing there's something only you can accomplish.
It's the power to conquer the world.
Sure, we may be young and childish. We may even be fools to believe we could possibly be someone of importance. We may be crazy to think we could make any sort of difference.
But, we may just be great because of it.
Hold on to your faith.
Don't forget your dreams.
Stay young forever.
Be free.
