Summer, fall, winter, spring, it does not matter the season, the weather or the the location, we all will burn. Some of us will burn brighter, some lighter. Some of us burn at night, alone in a room with the door closed and headphones on. Some of us burn during the day in a room filled with eyes taking in our every movement. The ways in which some of us burn is not whats in question. Do you burn? That is the question.
The streets and alleys and roads and paths and trails are becoming crowded with people searching. Searching for something they were told to find, were told they needed. Leave the house, get a degree, get a job, turn the job into a career and eventually one day you will be happy. One day.
One day, it will come to you and by then hopefully you will have enough experience in your career to get that dream job, and enough financial stability to leave your current one. Its not that hard. You just have to make money to support yourself and your significant other, and raise your children and pay for their college, and car, and insurance and food and housing too. Least you forget the family vacations every year and the holiday’s and the emergencies and eventually one day you will be happy.
Today can be the day when you begin to burn. When you start to be more than just a person who drifts through life. When you start to make a change in the world around you. When you start to set fire to the passion lying dormant and unused inside you.
There is a road inside you, one not taken by any other. One which traverses out of your comfort zone and through your dreams and around the people you love. This path requires a sacrifice for it requires a great amount of fuel to travel such a hard and dangerous road. That fuel is you. So, instead of lying around decaying. Discover how lovely it is to finally burn for something.
