Dreams and Aspirations
I myself aspire to be a distinguished artiste like Leto one day.
To be bestowed upon the power of being able to inspire others through my passions of music. To be offered the opportunity to encourage life through song would be, without a doubt, amongst the most blessed gifts anyone could ever ask for!
'Talents' I would call them — the innate ability to perform without trying or something that you were inherently born with. Admittedly, I struggle to acquire the skills I need to pull off what I love to do. However, I believe that being made differently is a test in preparation for a much bigger, much higher responsibility. With the maturity to be able to handle a greater responsibility, great powers would also be induced within me.
Embrace your talents, whatever it may be, and use it to give back.
I feel that I was given the gift of a strong will. The creative tension between my artistic vision and my current reality has always been present in my life. Once I am able to fully strip myself of doubts and fears, I have faith that I can accomplish anything I set my mind and heart to.
I represent my generation, the generation of teenagers who seem afraid of dreaming big in fear of being incompetent. And to them I ask, "Why should you fear your journey if you have yet to set forward on its path?"
Take heart; Have faith. Be the miracle we needed to see.
