you can't fit a big dream into a small life

by Rachel Lynch


It's between you and you, nobody else is going to live your dream for you. To wake up each morning with purpose, to know the direction in which you're going. 

But sometimes, I slip. I fall in love, I wait around. It's a temporary seduction, hoping now I've finally met someone strong enough to pull me out of my own dreams and into theirs. 

But no, it's all an illusion. I've never met a man stronger than the will I have to live my dreams. I've searched so hard - in musicians, painters, photographers and businessmen. Any excuse to fall into love and out of my wild pursuit. There's an art to life's distractions. But at best, its inspiration for more art, a temporary distraction from my work. At worst, it's heartache and emotional growth. I can give love, but I always come back to myself. My self tells me I'm not finished, not yet. Nothing is settled and there's so much to do. When your passion for your purpose is so big, it's hard to balance it alongside another big love. 

You see, my art is my first love, and when I look out the window, I dream of her.
