I am watching you crash against the walls of my castle.
Most likely both of us will suffer some damage.
But in the end, you will be the one to crumble into pieces.
That is because you come at me with pointless hatred.
It is a weapon too weak to defeat a sincere heart.
Too fragile to stand against a powerful soul.
It is only strong in your clouded eyes.
A lonely illusion uniting the hurt and the scared.
You’re too afraid to show the world who you really are.
Hiding, never daring to savor life as it is.
Deaf and blind to the beauty around you.
So determined to destroy those different than you.
You might even win some battles.
But the victory in this war is mine.
I shall rebuild with light and love.

I was watching a movie called Tomorrowland once. When it finally came to an end I’ve come to a realization. It hit me suddenly.
When people lose hope and when they give up, and when they forget their dreams and stop believing in themselves, then there is nothing else in the future, but an inevitable end of the world.
That’s what we see every day on the news and it’s a fact that there are raging wars and other unfortunate things tormenting our world.
The planet is dying!
That’s what we hear every day and what do many of us want to do? Not much. Just sit there and wait. Maybe there will be some excitement out of it? Like a zombie apocalypse. The world will end one day and we will all die anyway. Might as well sit back and watch the world burn.
What if I told you that Tomorrowland is possible? Peace is possible. A bright future is possible.
Sure, we won’t get along with everybody and we can’t please everybody. For now.
If all of us were taught different things than we are being taught now, we could grow tremendously as human beings and we could have peace. We could have a better world.
Someone who has found peace within their soul does not need to wage wars against others.
Call me idealistic. Delusional. Whatever else you want to call me. But I am a dreamer. Dreamers already live in Tomorrowland.
People who don’t give up and never lose hope are the ones who open the gates to a better future. They are the ones who are constantly changing the world. Just look around you.
And take a look at the mirror. Remember. You too are a dreamer.

Sometimes the embrace of the darkness within you may feel so soothing when things go wrong and your dreams start cracking or shatter altogether. The call of the shadows may sound so tempting inviting you to step over the edge and fall into the pit. The idea of just descending into the darkness may seem so easy and you may just want to let go. Hold on no longer.
The light lets go of you for a while, but not completely. It doesn’t go far away. It’s standing right beside you touching you briefly from time to time as the darkness puts its arms around you and embraces you. Both are there to help you ease the pain, to help you go through whatever you are going through. To help you stand up once more and keep going. Once you look up again, you see the light and it helps you up.
There is danger in letting the darkness hold you too long and too tight, because you may fall into the pit where the light has difficulty reaching you. As you stand the light embraces you and you step forward with hope and belief that everything is going to be okay. The darkness lets go, but it doesn’t disappear and is always ready to embrace you when you need it again.
The light and the darkness. Both are always there for you. Both are always within you. Both need to have their place in your heart and soul. Both can work together. When you walk forward holding the hands of both and dance together through the winds of life, you will find balance and harmony.

You’ve looked down on the gentle heart.
But can you stand against the flames once it’s on fire?
The burning embers light up the sky.
Ablaze is your soul.
You thought that being strong meant pushing your emotions away.
But can you take it when they come back flooding in?
Waves come crashing down.
In the depths is your heart.
You’d rather die than admit you were ever wrong.
But where will you hide when your mistakes will come knocking?
The walls close in and slowly crumble.
In the rubble is your truth.
You felt as if you were the ruler, owner of all the lands under your feet.
But what will happen when you see the shackles on your wrists?
The cage shuts.
Inside, on the knees, are you. -
Let it go, be light.
Don’t hide anymore.
It’s not yours to carry.
You’re meant to be light and strong.
Full of love and life.
Let it go, be light. -
Written in the stars.
Faded in the vast darkness.
Sown in dreams.
Reborn anew to shine on Earth. -
I am so incredibly beautiful.
I didn’t even realize this… for so long.
The vastness of my soul.
The immense power.
Shoved in a box.
Chained by fears and false beliefs.
Trapped in a body deemed imperfect by society’s beauty standards.
Made to feel less than.
Failing to see my strength.
The choice to take it all off.
Afraid to simply exist.
Not fitting the “norm”.
Seeking a deep connection.
Below the shallows.
Beyond the skies.
Behind mirrored reflections.
I have so much love to give.
But I know now I should give it all to myself first.
And stop forgetting who I am.
Trying to blend in as if I’m not a bright star.
I am the creator of my world.
The writer of my story.
The painter of my pictures.
The composer of my melody. -
A long time ago, after watching all the Star Wars movies at the time, I have realized that we all are potential Jedi. We all can learn the ways of the force. It’s all inside of us.
I have been on a spiritual journey for a while and just then I have realized that my path and all the teachings I was indulging in were pretty much my Jedi training. Whatever I had learned and unleashed from within – potential, my abilities, my skills, my energy, the power of my soul – it’s all ultimately forged into my very own lightsaber. My lightsaber is my tool of great power to clear and enlighten my path to even higher levels, to evolve, to protect, to teach.
I have also realized how attractive and tempting the dark side can be. Each of us has it in us. In Star Wars the dark side is often referred to as a path of no return, but it’s possible to turn back. Instead, I find that the path of light is a path of no return. The things I’ve learned and experienced. Bathing in light and happiness. I cannot imagine any way that would make it possible for me to go back to the person I was before all of this.
If I were a Jedi Master Moose, I would wear white robes and carry a white lightsaber. Or should I say… When I am a Jedi Master. We all can be Jedi Masters. Go on. Be yourself. Be your best self. Learn, explore, grow. Forge your own lightsaber.
The force will always be with you.
It has always been.

The things in our past mold us into who we are today. Sometimes in negative ways. Certain things can make us dim the stars glowing inside of our souls. We think the world won’t accept us and people won’t like the colors that we shine. We change our colors, we shut away our stars, we blend in, we fit in.
Many of us just go on with our lives with dim grey stars, often not realizing that we can shine bright and that we can do amazing things. Those who understand the flickering lights inside of them and the reasons for it can be considered lucky. They have the choice to let their stars glow. It is the choice to succumb and live with chains on their wrists or break them and enlighten even the darkest night.
It is not the stars in the sky to reach for, but to light up the Earth with your own glow and let others be blinded by your shine or be warmed up by it. Even if you are afraid of the dark, go straight into it and use the light of your stars to enlighten your path. Never walk past your dreams, but only into them. Don’t listen to the demons whispering from the shadows that you cannot do something, because you can. All you need to do is just go for it.
Let the stars within you shine.
Brightly.
Freely.

I am me.
If asking something of you is not enough, I will have to show you why I’ve asked for it to begin with.
If explaining something to you is not enough to make you understand, just sit back and watch me.
And I know that even then you may not understand because people like me might have never existed in your world before.
But don’t judge and don’t hate. I don’t even need you to understand everything.
Just see me from the inside and respect my choices.
I am me.
It’s only sad that people have to struggle so much just to be themselves.
And I don’t believe that my generation will see the day when people like me will be truly free.
However, giving up is not an option for me.
I will always reach out for what I want.
I just want to be happy.
