Dreams, goals, ambitions, aspirations. They are all words that mean one thing. 

What do I want to do when I grow up? Who will I be, what will I do, What can I make happen?

I don't want to be a model, or a veterinarian, or an astronaut. My answer is different than what others will answer. 

No, my answer is something more.. National. You'll have heard it before, and you may scoff at me for being so starry-eyed and optimistic. You will say I look at our war-ridden, poverty-stricken world through lenses of rose tinted glass. 

I will agree with you. I have not yet truly experienced what it feels like to struggle through the world, sifting through ash to pick up pieces of what we long to have, a perfect utopia. 

I understand that my goal is near impossible. But, I do have a goal. A dream, an aspiration. 

I plan to take the ashes of our world, and from it raise a phoenix. My dream is to create a world where everyone is truly equal, and without discrimination. I strive to create a world where we can all afford to look at the world with rose tinted glasses, and put down our weapons of violence and words. I want to form a world where everyone looks at each other and understands  the galaxies hidden behind their eyes, and respects that we are all different. 

We all have one thing in common. No one wants to be hated, or scared. No one wants to go to war. 

We all just want a future for our hearts. 

My dream is to give hearts a future, and to give those starry-eyed a chance.
