The Thoughts Of The Lost Soul

A dream . A fantasy that we choose to live in . The virtual image , unseeable by others , uncomparable to reality . A dream . The refuge of the human mind . The hidden world . A world shaped by a person's own desire . A dream . A place where one is able to relieve the memories . To wallow in the depths of the mind . To smile . To laugh . To cry . To mourn . To encage a memory forever .

I am a dream .

I am a dream that is created to aid . To serve . To help . A beacon of hope that lies in the midst of emptiness . I am here because of a desire . A wish that has been granted . In my hands , i hold the source of light to brighten the path of a person . The person who created me out of a dream . I am given a body , a mind of my own and an intellect which outstrips my host . I exist only in his eyes . To guide him through his life .

I am a dream .

A dream he wants to accomplish . A dream that , like all dreams , holds a strong force . A dream is not like a memory , which fades away in the course of time . A dream , unlike a memory , is unique in each individual . A dream endures the passage of time , forever remaining until one day , it is accomplished . One day , the dream becomes a reality . It takes form in the dreamer's eyes . It becomes a memory .

Then , it fades .

Slowly , at first . Until , eventually , what is left is only a fragment of a dream and a remnant of a memory . It is lost in time . Never again to be relieved . It is forgotten . Anew dream forms . A new desire erupts . The cycle will repeat itself . In fact , it will keep repeating itself until ... who knows ? Who knows what lies at the end of the road ? Who can truly comprehend the end of a journey without reaching it ? Who would have the insight in that ?

No one .

Not even the deities have that sort of power . To know is to discover . To discover is to seek . To seek the ending , you must reach the ending . Just as you will never know the conclusion of a book until you read the ending , you will never truly know what lies ahead until we go ahead . True , you can predict . But predictions are mere predictions . Your premonitions , your assumption , your guessing is not enough . A shot in the dark has a high percentage to miss its mark . A prediction has a probability of going wrong . There is always the element of surprise .

You must be prepared .

Ready to face the consequences . Ready to face what lies ahead . That is a person's true fear . The unknown . If we do not know what to expect , how do we prepare to confront it ? What really prepares us is the spirit . The determination . Our willpower . The strength to strive forward and make up for the chances you miss . Look at the ocean . A vast area of liquid with no way of determining what really lies beneath . If we go unprepared , we might face problems and ultimately , death .

You must brace yourself .

You must believe . Believe that you can make it through . Have faith that you can do whatever it takes to reach your goal . Your desire . Your dream .

Because you can do it .

Even if achieving your dream causes you to lose precious memories , it is the fact that you have made it that makes you who you will be in the future .

Do not be a coward .
Strive for it .
Make it happen .
Never forget that you own your dreams .

And it is up to you if you want to succeed .
