Drifting Thoughts Becoming A Foundation

I must confess, I find it a bit uncomfortable to post my thoughts within a place that belongs to strangers. For my entire life, I have kept most of my thoughts within bound books kept far from the eyes of people. To tell people what I am thinking, publishing it on the web, and then hoping for feedback is like having one of those dreams where I am caught in the middle of rush hour with no clothes; wondering if anybody noticed my subconscious efforts reaching for extreme attention in a world of chaos and noise.
Today, I began to seriously consider myself, my life, my dreams. For months, I have promised myself to write and turn that former dream into something daily breathed. For months, I took time to fill pages with more than journal entries, but stories, observances, language outside of my inner box. For months, I began to face my fear of public opinions and placed my thoughts for all to see. Now, my thoughts and dreams, the weakest yet most potent ability that I have is being realized as my formerly drifting thoughts dreamed their way into becoming a constant foundation for myself. Where I once was awkwardly scared to stand in the midst of a chaotic scene, I now am finding great joy seeing myself go after my dreams to write.
I am not alone in this sometimes silly endeavor. I am so glad to have found how many amazing people I am connected to online and at home. Basically, I am glad to be inspired by those around me. At this point, I am all chit-chat, but truly grateful for those that have been the starting link in my dream. It's good to confess thoughts of joy and gratitude. That is when I realize dreams are real.

The sooner you can grab onto those dreams, the better. Take them, nurture them and fly with them!!! Don't wait for the someday I'll.....
