just write: where the dream lives.
your future isn’t shaped
in the big moments;
the pristine and pretty ones
where you’re surrounded by
people you love.
your future is shaped
in the ugly moments.
when you’re tired
and alone
and surrounded by doubt.
and you have to make a decision
for yourself.
the dream is often alive
in the spaces between the trying.
in the pauses,
in the silence,
in the deep breaths you take
right before you’re ready to give up,
when deep down,
you know you’re really just
getting ready
to get up
and try again.

That's tough to remember sometimes, especially when it is so easy to get discouraged in those difficult times. But those moments are often when you have to make important choices!
I love this! So true!
