the heart has a mind of its own

as i lay to waste, i begin reminiscing. not always a good thing, but sometimes, it can do wonders for the soul and for the mind. i looked back at my past and scrutinised the decisions that i've made. i delved even further to trace my actions as a child. then i stopped. i began looking into the future, many years from now, looking at what i would become.

i'm doing this for my family, my parents. my dreams are too big to be contained within the confines of the human mind. it is always bursting out from the cracks and crevices of my mental capacity. yes i dream, i dream big. and i'll make those clouds concrete.

i'm taking it one step at a time. i burn the bridges to my past as the first thing on my agenda. emotions, in my opinion, are like stone weights tied to your legs. they'll only slow you down. and when you move too slowly and see others move past, you panic, and your judgement is being clouded. and so my past, as they say, is in the history books.

next up is prioritising. i've dropped some added weight and began focusing. creating a personal niche that others won't seem to have. i'm focusing on my papers, my ticket to the gates of the future. this will be my leverage, my weapon of choice.

right now, things are right on track. and i will stop for no one.

people say i'm proud, but i am never one to deny it. this is me.
