I had an interesting conversation with my friend Doug over text today. Somehow, we got to talking about dreams.
Doug: What's the six train about?
Me: It's a cryptic thing. But it basically means that I've found my dream. And it's on the five, not the six.
Doug: But you keep taking the 6? (Thank you for stating the obvious, you silly puppy you.)
Me: That's why the six is late. When I got back to town after vacation, I took the two to the end of the line, where the five stops as well. I got some answers there. Some of them cryptic, yes, but others make more sense.
Doug: Sounds like you've learned some good things.
Me: So whatcha gonna do once you're done with your student teaching?
Doug: Good question. Wishing I knew what dreams to chase.
Me: Hm. I think you just need to take your own train to the end of the line. Chances are you already know what you want but there are doubts, fears, set ways that keep you from getting there. Me, I was lucky. I had a life changing event happen to me that moved me and fast. But it doesn't happen like that all the time. Think back to the last time that you were afraid. Like, you did what you wanted and no matter what you didn't hold back...I'm sure there should be at least one point in your life when you acted without thinking of what others were thinking of you.
Doug: Yeah. You're probably right.
Me: I am right.
Because I'm cool like that XD
I've been thinking, while sitting here listening to my favorite music, getting ready for flexibility training and wishing I could just jump out of my window and fly. What will I do tomorrow? The same things I am doing tonight, but I will be free. I'll probably stay up late and do a few extra things. I recorded some tonight, did some lines, and I'll hopefully work on writing, too.
It's these little things that I guess I can find a way to live for. The smile on your face, the way my heart feels, the path I know I'm chasing. I'm so far away, but I'm so close. If I can keep chasing the dream, that's how I will keep running.
To you.
I don't want the express to stop.
