Soon I will be over you

There are tons of quotes that one may find in Garth Brook's collection but this one I like best :

You know a dream is like a river, ever changing as it flows.
And a dreamer's just a vessel that must follow where it goes.

Somehow when she reads this line it gives her some sense of direction and a little hope that someday she will be led by her dreams...she will live her dreams.

Trying to learn from what's behind you and never knowing what's in store
makes each day a constant battle just to stay between the shores.


Though she never realizes how much difficult it would be, she still went through the fire. Yes, it is a constant struggle just to keep herself intact. She lives by the day and holds on to her only prized possessions to keep her sanity.

And I will sail my vessel 'til the river runs dry.
Like a bird upon the wind, these waters are my sky.
I'll never reach my destination if I never try,
So I will sail my vessel 'til the river runs dry.


She gains strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which she really stops to look fear in the face. She is able to say to herself, "I have lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along".


Too many times we stand aside and let the water slip away.
To what we put off 'til tomorrow has now become today.
So don't you sit upon the shore and say you're satisfied.
Choose to chance the rapids and dare to dance the tides.


She has always dared try the unknown when she comes to the end of all light. Bracing herself for whatever hurdles and consequences she might jump upon. She has strengthened her faith knowing that one of two things shall happen: Either she will be given something solid to stand on or she will be taught to fly.

And just like every story or fairytale that a storyteller shares, it has it's happily-ever-after or an open-ended one. Just like Garth Brook's river that flows, it's going to end somewhere. Just like any other sentence it has its period. Just like the wars that every human kind has gone through, it has its ending. Just like any politician's term winning a government seat, his career too has its downfall.

Just like Newton's gravity : What goes up must come down. In a nutshell, everything comes and goes. Just like the spring, summer, winter or fall or whatever season there is...it comes and goes...it starts and ends. Just like any tourney that an individual or team plays on, it ends up with one emerging as the champion and the other on the losing end. It cannot be both ways. There has to be a tie-breaker.

Just like the long and winding road, it has a dead-end that stops you right there. Just like her mystified mind, there will come a time that she has to solve the intriguing and complicated thoughts. She knows that soon she will have to stand up from her downfall.

She may always have the memories locked deep inside her heart but she would have to stop reminiscing and hoping. She may always carry those sweet words, the promises and the shared laughters but she would have to stop looking back at it. Just like everything else that make sense she said to herself, " Soon I will be over you".
