I Believe
by
Jazmyn A. Hallman
I believe in
paying attention to life's little details
I believe in affection and gentleness
I believe in the importance of personal
relationships
I believe in looking at life through love even
though I mildly tinge it with melancholy
I believe that we shouldn't regret any opportunity
or chance taken, even if it doesn't bring the
expected amount
of happiness
I believe in keeping friends close and not turning
your back on them, even if they're messing up
I believe in looking for the best in people
(sometimes it's hard)
I believe in mastering my own fate, because if I
don't, who else will?
I believe in independence and freedom of speech
I believe in idealism when perceiving life, reality
can be a kick in the ass although sometimes we need
a good
boot
I believe in having dreams and making goals, even
if to others they seem wildly out of reach, because
it is
that presumed unattainability that makes you strive
harder
I believe in making sacrifices to reach these
goals, unless it involves hurting a person
I believe that a person should stay keenly in touch
with their emotions
I believe in showing sympathy and understanding to
those that grieve
I believe that we should respect our individual
gifts and know our own potential and specialness
I believe in showing limitless boundaries of
imagination without fear of ridicule
I believe in seeking escape either through or from
the emotional anguish causing me pain, even though
that
may not be the best way
I believe in lending a dignity of spirit to every
encountered relationship
I believe in possessing a deep core of spiritual
strength
I value love, knowledge, relationships, idealism
and transcendence
That's what I believe.
