Driven

When I have set my sights on a goal, do not get in my path. I'd akin it to something like a bull in a China shop, or the incredible hulk: roaring my power to the heavens. Or maybe like King Kong, I can rip through my chains, crushing my opponents... sometimes even my goals.
Ha.
I was telling my friend Casey how she had to be the strong, cause she is a powerful force and if we want to produce a good show, she has to pull double her wait, because she can. She broke down crying: "I'm sick of being the strong one! I want someone to hold MY hand. I want someone who will help me pull the wait, I want someone who is there to back me up." My reaction was to laugh.
Now, now. It wasn't because I laugh at other people's suffering, I laughed because those same words have fallen from my mouth.

We both dream of lovers who will hold us close, stand with us toe to toe. Love us for our whole selves, not just for our parts.
We are products of a spoiled generation. Where parents broke their backs to provide for us and didn't whisper a word about it to us. Divorce is rampant. A product of a throw away society who has little understanding of the impact their actions can make. We can always take a break during commercial, right? Flip the channel? Strength of character and integrity are definitely underplayed. Life isn't always about getting what you want, but making sacrifices and compromises to get what you need out of life. Sometimes the tunnel will be long and dark but in the end there is always a light.

That's what this burning hope I have tells me. Deep down inside.
