What will it take

Open up your heart, and feel.

Open up your mind, and think.

What will it take to put yourself aside and appreciate the beauty around you?

It is hard to listen to a piece of music that touches your soul, when you are attracted to the one who sings it but can never have him.

It is hard to appreciate an artfully written essay when you are entirely jealous of the one who wrote it because she isn't you. Or you aren't her.

It is difficult to open yourself up and feel, to allow life to come inside, when you are mad that you aren't more like __________, that you haven't accomplished _______ yet, and maybe never will.

It is hard to watch someone else living the life you were meant to have, to see your dreams slipping away, and do nothing to catch them.
