Late Nights 2


So who is up late at night? A young friend hoping that he will get that date for the weekend within the next couple of minutes, the college student desperately working on a paper, and the random guy who late at night is still listening to Frank Sinatra, pondering what she thinks of him, as he sips his Dr.Pepper like Jack Daniel's on a lonely evening. So disconnected from everything, understanding why dogs howl at night as they all cry out for lost hopes, tied to poles that they can't escape. What's to keep these people from drifting off to sleep? Is it the attempts to hold on to the magical day which they just had or the anticipation for the next. Perhaps it is fear of the dreams which may come or another anxious night. I've seen many days come and go, what's the difference today? Nothing, it's absolutely nothing. There are times when one simply stays awake for the same reason that he doesn't go to work one morning, or decides that it's time to change his life.When life is filled with mystery, the best thing to do is search out those dreams, reach out for them, and join the ranks of those many souls who are working each and every night at becoming just a little bit better, who are searching just a little bit deeper, who are trying just a little bit harder. Those are your heroes, those are the future, because at the end of the day, they are still awake, and they chose to be. It doesn't matter if you're worried or excited, whether you're tired or motivated, you're awake, and when the lights go out at night, you can count the stars.

I've stayed up just to watch sunrises, wondering as the morning struck my face if that day would bring a miracle. But as the summer days would pass by, I would often miss the casual breeze and drift away. It's early in the morning when we realize our dreams are actually in the places that we are living and we see those things which we really want. You should live everyday like you live your dreams. No regrets, but full of adventure. If you never try, then you will never know. And though I'm not a fan of rejection, I'm even worse with never knowing. So, when it comes down to taking chances, why don't you look at your life and take a moment to look at your dreams, and if you can't find a moment, stay up just a little bit longer and join us. The lovestruck youth, the college student, and the somebody, who could be anybody, who lives in everybody.
