Go for it or get out

I'm a little ashamed that this blog was totally inspired by Lady GaGa. Don't get me wrong- I'm a fan, but I usually don't look to her for inspiration before I jump into a writing project. I watched her latest music video that has been getting a lot of press and I loved every minute of the awkward artsy self-expression. The media portrayed the video as a waste of time and too edgy, but I really liked it a lot. I liked it because it's totally unique to her. One thing about GaGa is she she expresses herself without shame (although the whole meat suit is still gross beyond words!).

This isn't a blog on Lady GaGa so let me get to the point. The point is that we all have dreams that we want to see come true in our own lives. There is that one thing that we feel we were just meant to be or accomplish. Some of us may not know what that is or looks like yet, but it's there. My biggest dream is to be a writer. Of course having a family and everything is important to me, but I feel like I was made to write. "'Cause baby I was born this way"....I had to : )

My attitude toward that dream right now is to put all in and to go for it no matter what. I've been writing so much more now that I have taken a break from Facebook. My book is beginning to take shape and I'm writing as if I will be published instead of letting doubt defeat me. Our dreams are only as big as we allow them to be and we are the only person to blame if they never come true. I know that I sound like a total idealist, but what I am saying is realistic- go for it! Life isn't something that waits for us- it keeps going and will leave us standing in our regret if we don't move along with it.
