If today you are not doing something to move yourself towards what you have always dreamed about, then you would have done everything else that would have moved you a step further.

Most men lead lives of quiet desperation and go to the grave with the song still in them.
-Henry David Thoreau

Life eats you up. Life chews you like some piece of gum that has lost its flavour. Life then spits you out.

You are GUM!

But only if you believe it to be. I believe me to be an angel, and in my dreams I have wings. How many of you have let yourself be chewed up by life, to grow old to become all wrinkled and lifeless, to have the taste sucked right out of you?

You are STILL GUM!
-Anonymous (slightly irritated now)

But only if you continue to let life chew you up. I refuse to be chewed, and when I walk, I am a giant. I walk with my head in the clouds and my feet on the ground, and when I run, the wind bears me up on its mighty breaths, soaring with me when jump.

*chews*

Ah well. *spit*
