Favorite Quote:
Life is not measured by how many breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away.


I'm not just another face in this sea of people.
They all lead normal lives, and are content
But I am not.
I want to be somebody; I want to be different;
I want to be the person who is quoted by many
and looked up to.
I will be remembered as a person
who took risks and went on grand adventures,
not a person who lived an average life.
But that's not so easy to do
When you're suffocated by your surroundings.
How do you escape the bubble of normality,
when it is so comforting and reliable?
It would be so much easier to live normally
Then live dangerously;
but where is the fun in that?
I will be my own person
I will not be just another face in the sea.

Actually, a painting inspired me to write this poem. I hope that the people who read this get motivated to get out there and be somebody, and make a name for themselves.
