They tell you the possibilities are endless, that no one is stopping you but yourself
They tell you to dream bigger dreams when you're realistic, to be happy when you're down
But when you fall it seems as if they secretly wanted you to, hiding their smiles behind masks of sadness
Sending their condolences for your dreams that didn't come true
You had no one to tell you who your friends were, enemies didn't exist
The world was black and white
When it started to gain color you ran away, only to find that the sky is truly the limit

Lifting the Curtain to a Successful Month
April has been a fantastic month for me in terms of writing endeavors. I’d like to share what’s been so great about it just as many other writers would do. Share successes. I’ve noticed other writers or artists have shared successes and when you just see the snippet of their success, it appears everything has been going right for them all along. But we haven’t seen behind the curtain, we haven’t seen their hard work and their failures and those months that were fraught with disappointment. In everyone’s case, it’s far from the truth. But for the outside observer it isn’t always apparent.
