two hundred thirty four

take a look at yourself in a mirror.
who do you see looking back?
is it the person you want to be?
or is there someone else you were meant to be,
but fell short of?
is there someone telling you that you can't?
or that you won't?
because you can.
and i believe that.
i believe that love is out there.
somewhere.
i believe that sometimes happiness doesn't come from money,
or from fame,
or from power.
i believe that sometimes happiness comes from good friends and family,
and even from the quiet nobility of simply living a good life.
so take a look into that mirror and remind yourself to be happy.
because you deserve that.
and believe that dreams come true every single day.
because they do.
