what are you waiting for?

She told me the truth is important. That the truth should be spoken.

All we're doing is dreaming - of what we might accomplish, where we might go, who we might meet. We dream of the impossible and believe in somedays. We would kill for this, just a little bit. We would do anything for our dreams. If only to defy the people who told us we couldn't, that we never would: Never see success. Never make a difference. Never travel the world. Never create something. Never fall in love.

Our whole lives are laid out in front of us. Every day the sun rises and gives us a brand new opportunity. And we can do with it whatever we want. There are always going to be things that come to an end. Nothing can last forever. It's the beginnings that keep us alive. It's the thrive for life and the continuation of what we already have that gives us hope. It's the opportunity to make a difference that brings us purpose. It's the desire within us to love other people that ignites us with passion.

Keep it all going. Don't give up. No matter how vulnerable you feel. No matter how hard it is to do what you want to do, to say what you need to say. You have to be willing to kill for this, whatever it is. You have to be willing to be heard. You can't be afraid. Let go of everything you have lost and look at what you have to gain. We're always waiting for somedays. But, our dreams only play to ourselves. Our actions play to the world. Our words ring to those around us.

What are you waiting for? If today was your last day... What would you do? What would you say?
