Elsie 2024: I've taken a lot of time to figure out what I've
wanted for myself. I was always worried that without a solid plan to
structure my life that I would surely fail. Did I want a mansion
with thirty butlers and thirty maids? Did I want the beachside
penthouse on the pink sands of Pompeii? Did I want prince
charming, a white picket fence, and a few children of my own?
Looking back at what I've learned now that I am grown; A car,
beach and material things are never what I should be thinking of. If
can see inside, deep inside my heart, and know that wisdom,
knowledge, and truth are all I really need.
Elsie 2014: To me, success is having strength and courage in my
beliefs. No material possession, love connection, or circumstance
should ever stop me from reaching to the stars. I won't be put on a
scale of society's design. I am where I will be because of a choice to
be free. I want nothing to hold me back or ground me. I will walk
the roads least traveled by. I will be unlimited.
Elsie 2024: I know that to survive you must earn your daily bread,
and that the earth you choose to plant your feet in will be the earth
to plan to die in. The beauty of planting a seed in earth is that it's
sure to grow so long as you nurture it, and its needs are truly met. I
am an artist, I'm a musician, I am a scholar. I am what I want to be.
The label isn't important just how you feel spiritually. It's okay to
need someone, some things and a place to sleep. We are built to
survive. You can find yourself and still feel alive. What you need to
know is that nothing is impossible until you make it so.
