"The best people possess a feeling for beauty, the courage to take
risks, the discipline to tell the truth, the capacity for sacrifice.
Ironically, their virtues make them vulnerable;
they are often wounded, sometimes destroyed."
-Ernest Hemmingway
I believe that all of the greatest people are the ones who aren't afraid to take a risk, aren't afraid to jump head first into the complete unknown. Wether it be a new job, a new love, or just testing the waters of a new hobby. However, these brave souls who aren't afraid of the unknown, are the same ones who will get burned, badly. These people who so freely open their hearts to love are the ones who find those that can't love them. They jump into careers head first only to be told by the ones they trust that it will never succeed, that they should stop trying. These brave dreamers need to find others like them, others who understand this incessant need to dream and then to take up their dreams and go with them. If they don't find others, these dreamers are sure to fall apart under the pressure of the world and those who look down upon them. Dreamers, gather your courage. We can do this. No matter how many people piss on our parade we will trudge through and come out on the other end knowing so much more beauty then the naysayers can even think to imagine.
