Empty Dreams

     I've only ever had one dream: to write. Everything I've ever done has been for that dream. Then one day, I'm told that I should be more realistic. I shouldn't have such aspirations because it doesn't make good money, or it isn't very probable. I've been told to give up, and move on. To the people that spewed this 'empty dream' crap, I'm proving you wrong. 

     I've been to college for photography, I have my own studio and am writing for a newspaper. I'm a freelance photographer and have people wanting my short stories and artistic shots. I also happen to be only eighteen. 

     So to anyone and everyone that think their dreams are hopeless, that there's no reason to try, you're wrong. I'm doing what I love because I want to. I didn't let those other people keep me down and you shouldn't either. Be a writer, a photographer, a dancer or musician. Go forward and become a linguist, or a doctor or a stunt driver. Whatever your dream is, never let it be empty.

     Live your life to the fullest.
