For Whatever They May Say

For whatever they may say, they cannot say that we are not kind.  The pure hearted will prevail throughout life. An erroneous weight is placed upon the necessity to be strong, brass, and hard.  We shall keep our softness. We shall not allow jading to occur.  For whatever they may say, they cannot say that we are not intelligent.  For we have put in the time, effort, and energy in order to gain knowledge so we may enrich and stimulate our minds. They want us to pick between academia and other passions, and we shall not. We can do both. We can be anything.  For whatever they may say, they cannot say that we quit.  For despite the obstacles and adversity, we always believe in a better tomorrow. Even if means moving mountains, we find a way. We have hope, fiery spirits, and relentless tenacity. Even if it takes a thousand tries, we make it happen. We do not ever accept complete defeat. And for whatever they may say, they cannot say that we are apathetic. We are filled with passion and do not see life as purposeless. To us, it is a beautiful gift and we intend to carpe diem.  We dream, romanticize, and create - then play.  We refuse to become dispassionate and wither away. We shall expand our powerful energy throughout and around this Earth with purpose, meaning, and love.
