Like The Movies

______________________

It's almost perfect.

But not exactly perfect.

Because perfect never truly exists.

But even if it did, then it is very close to it.

Something so kind.

Special.

Passionate.

Real.

Something unlike the movies.

Something I could hold onto.

Something true.

Something complicated.

Perfect things can be complicated.

They can be difficult.

They can be frustrated.

And that makes it scary.

You're allowed to feel scary and happy.

You can be more than one thing.

You can choose to have it all.

You just have to be willing.

It's okay to be scared.

It's okay to feel uncertain about the future.

You don't have to know everything.

We will never know the full extent of the future.

It is scary.

I won't lie to you.

I don't know how this could affect your life.

But I do know one thing.

If you truly care.

Then you won't need to worry about it.

You will be able to trust that things will work out.

You have to trust in yourself before you can trust in others.

The movies don't show all the difficult parts.

They skip over the chapters of frustrations.

Arguments.

But these chapters have resolutions as well.

They make compromises.

They work with one another.

And there are sacrifices.

And none of these things come easily to anyone.

That is the reality.

It's not an easy path.

People struggle with it their entire lives.

You've said so yourself.

But there are other moments.

There are other chapters.

Chapters that people stop to awe at.

Acts and ballads that people fall silent at.

It isn't all scary.

It can be calming.

Comforting.

Special.

They don't have to be special in society's way.

It's unique to you.

To the things you enjoy.

The things you love.

Those things you enjoy doing.

Your ambitions.

Talents.

Small hobbies.

Those make you special.

You are incredibly talented.

Smart.

And you are ambitious.

It's almost as if you were written in a book.

But when they cast it on screen it becomes more real.

Though it is never the true reality.

Is it?

My point is.

Yes, this is scary.

You don't know what the future holds.

But it could be great.

It isn't all scary.

There will be happy moments.

Exciting moments.

Emotional ones.

You can choose to run from it all.

But I hope you don't.

Because you deserve those good moments.

You deserve to live that kind of life.

It doesn't have to be like the movies.

But it can still be special.

It can still be unique to you.

You can still live the life that you want.

You don't have to change your ambitions for anyone.

In fact..

Please don't.

You're wonderful already.

Remember that.
