Here I stand on the concrete jungle where dreams are made of. A city that is always alive and rarely sleeps. Populated with over eight million people, speaking over eight hundred languages, this city holds the throne down. Now while there are many that were born and raised in these busy streets, there are also many of us that migrated here. Everyone has their own reasons of course but mine were pretty simple...Dance and Fashion. Most of the greatest dance companies in the world are here throughout the city and New York is our capital of fashion, so I think it would only be fair to grace my presence here into the land of NYC. My success awaits me!
Peace and Love...special shout out to my dreamers in the world :)
We live in a world where everything and everyone around us are different. Scattered and diverse living in the same world with totally different views to be proven.
We all talk and walk in unbalanced ways but it never gives anyone a right to BULLY. Some of us were born poor and others not so much. Life is in no way shape or form fair and no one ever said that it would be. It is something we must all live with day to day.
Bullying normally comes from lack of confidence, lack of support, or just trying to find your true self and image. Although you may not mean to do or say abusive things to someone, the situation is becoming more deadly than ever. We have many teens and young adults who now hide behind computers through social networking sites, whether it be twitter or any other site. We must STOP and prevent this epidemic. We were taught that only sticks and stones would hurt us, but the truth of the matter is that words hurt just as much. Remember that silence is violent, so SPEAK UP.
If you know anyone being bullied for weight, appearance, gender, or race, please report it to someone you trust. If you are being bullied or have realized that you may be a bully and need someone to talk to, please call 1-888-448-3000 toll free 24 hours.
If you are a victim of bullying due to your sexual orientation, please contact 1-800-398-GAYS.
If you are or know someone with suicidal thoughts, please contact 1-800-273-TALK.
*There are children, teens, and young adults dying everyday from this. Please speak up, because WORDS DO HURT*
Many of us plan and save throughout the year for various events, including vacations. We work hard and play even harder, which is great by all means. There is just one thing many of us forget about along the way while doing this. THE DREAM .
As we age each year, our dream is in the rear view mirror waiting for us to make that u-turn. While we are working, we must remember that we were not meant to work forever and the work pays off to something more than just a trip. It's doing something that you love so that you'll never have to work another day in your life. It's called a career, which usually is created from THE DREAM.
To be awake, alive, and living your dream is the greatest success you could ever obtain. It's the highest accomplishment you could give yourself. You do not have to be the richest to become successful. All you simply need is...A Dollar and A Dream
I dedicate this to all out there with a dream that may have started fading away due to lack of support, finances, or anything of that matter. Your dream is within your reach, so grab it and hold onto it! * Happy MLK weekend to all *
