i. Dilemma Dreams. Everyone has them. The problem comes when we grow older and the responsibilities pile up. Everyone will have to take on the responsibilities-depending of which point of #life-of being a filial child, an outstanding student, a civilized citizen or a loving spouse. How do we strike a balance then? I'd say to chase your dreams and make them your responsibility. ~~~ I sat on the icy concrete floor in my hemisphere. I left my work table to take a breather. I often wonder why I end up being in this place where I've been trapped so long; this place where Responsibility takes dominance over me. I crossed my arms as I strut towards the boundary. This boundary separates the hemisphere and a beautiful garden where my Soul lingers. I gazed at my Soul as it flew freely like a bird out there. I place my hand gently on a transparent barrier that separated us. This barrier was rigid, but permeable. Why can't my heart and Soul be one entity? I just want to fly away and never look back. I was attracted to the elegance of my Soul and I am ready to take off. As I was about to step out, Responsibility called out to me. "Don't go, Vanessa. Stay here. You belong here." I stared at it. I stared hard. I stared for what felt like eternity. I sighed. "I'm sorry but out there is where I truly belong; where my Soul is." It shivered in anger and flared "I will not be abandoned. Get back now or else-" "Or else what? Get back there and live a scripted #life? No! I refuse. Goodbye." It rattled on and on but I switched off. I took a step forward and my left feet was on the other side of the boundary. Responsibility immediately rushed up to pull me back. It was strong but not as powerful as my desire to escape. With all my strength, I barely manage to get my torso out of the hemisphere. Now, it's just my right feet. Responsibility held onto my right feet like it was the last #lifebuoy on a sinking ship. With a forceful tug, I finally got out. I opened my eyes to find this beautiful place. I took a deep breath and united with my Soul. Never had I felt this alive. Euphoria. "Welcome. You're finally here" my Soul whispered. Its voice.... So gentle and lovely. "Go on, just go wherever you want. This place has no boundary, no horizon. Just you and yourself." I smiled. For the first time in donkey years. I smiled.

    Speak Lyrics! Lyrics are normally sung. And we are not normal. Inspired by Ellen's Costco video, Josephine and I decided to say lyrics to our schoolmates. You know, they say, everything starts small. Check out video out!
