me just being me.......still believing....just not as hopeful

some of the people that i hold closest to my heart know me. they seem to have an understanding of me that is comforting. i wonder if we are all looking for the same thing? not in the super specific way but the same general things. i guess it would be silly of me to think that we do because everyone is different. we all have the things that make us tick. some people are want the financial security that great wealth brings. i know that it would be a feeling that i have never truly felt but i can imagine. have the chance to travel the world and submerge yourself in all that there is. don't be glutinous about it but enrich your life with all the beauty that there is. then there are the romantics. looking for the love that transcends the realm of reality. there is the love that is so intense that it is not fully understood by most. i wonder if everyone is lucky enough to have the love that can move mountains. i don't believe that everyone gets the chance at the earth shattering but what is most tragic is when you miss out on the chance to have your one great love. your destiny can be right in front of you at times but if you chose not to take the opportunity then it may not be there when you are ready. i think we need to try to live each day with the conviction that this is my life and i am going to make the most of it
