    REVELATION. 8:12 PM

    It's the end of the week! yay. finally, i managed to survive another 2 days of school! but anyway, i dont know whether the previous post has served its msg. whatever it is, im here to overwrite that post. that post has now moved down to second!

    these 2 days have passed rather normally. thursday was a drastic change from the super long weekend we had so i was hardly paying any attention :x today was better. at least there was history which was interesting, and a math. haha. then cca was quite fun too. so overall, it wasnt such a bad day. tmr i have plans to slack and no plans to study chinese, do physics or chem. uh, woohoo?

    anyway, ive decided im going to try and gain courage. because courage is something everyone needs.

    yeah, they're just tanks you know? just like hurdles are just hurdles xD We must overcome them. Courage to say the truth. Courage to speak out. Courage to do what's right. "Yesterday I dared to struggle. Today I dare to win." -Bernadette Devlin. Dare to try, dare to win. Dare to dare and get your share.

    Get inspired by Martin Luther King or someone. MLK was the guy who dared to stand up for what was right (and still is). He dared to speak out about the racial inequalities in the US during that time. He dared to voice his opinions and start a revoultion. He dared. And because of his courage, Negroes have the same privileges as Whites in America today. You could say that he paid for equality with his life, as he was assassinated while visiting some place.

    I Have A Dream (excerpt)

    Go back to Mississippi, go back to Alabama, go back to Georgia, go back to Louisiana, go back to the slums and ghettos of our northern cities, knowing that somehow this situation can and will be changed. Let us not wallow in the valley of despair.

    I say to you today, my friends, that in spite of the difficulties and frustrations of the moment, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream.

    I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal."

    I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at a table of brotherhood.

    I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a desert state, sweltering with the heat of injustice and oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.

    I have a dream that my four children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.

    I have a dream today.

    I have a dream that one day the state of Alabama, whose governor's lips are presently dripping with the words of interposition and nullification, will be transformed into a situation where little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls and walk together as sisters and brothers.

    I have a dream today.

    I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight, and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together.

    This is our hope. This is the faith with which I return to the South. With this faith we will be able to hew out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope. With this faith we will be able to transform the jangling discords of our nation into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood. With this faith we will be able to work together, to pray together, to struggle together, to go to jail together, to stand up for freedom together, knowing that we will be free one day.

    This will be the day when all of God's children will be able to sing with a new meaning, "My country, 'tis of thee, sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing. Land where my fathers died, land of the pilgrim's pride, from every mountainside, let freedom ring."

    Yes, he had a dream. He had a dream of equality. He had a dream of freedom. He had a dream of what could have been, and what that became. Without dreams, you will not have a motivation. It's okay to dream big. In fact, its best you dream big. from the song Dream Big:

    if you dont dream big, whats the use of dreaming/if you dont have faith, whats the use of believing/it takes one hope to make the stars worth reaching for/so reach out for something more
    ...
    faith is something i cant see/i lose the reigns and let them go/i broke the chains of fear/that had their hold on me too long/when all i felt was wrong
