So today rev pointed out to me my book was officially on Amazon. It was one step closer to my life's goal. The finale being available through Barnes and Nobel.
I will never forget my first trip to that store, the very first sight I had of the 3 story building at 17 years old. I knew in that moment someday I would be able to walk into a bookstore and be able to say right there , that is my book. Today I walked into a Barnes and Nobel and said , do you carry this book, and they said here we can get it in 3 days for me. Then the girl said - Congratulations".
There is no possible word to explain that moment when you hold a print out of your book through B%N' s and can say this right here I am holding my dream in the palm of my hand.
It's so surreal. Everything no matter how cliche or made for tv movie; one has to learn to split apart and create their own definition of truly living.
Today my life was all set down in the most ironic of ways'. I'll never forget the years months and days leading up to this point. The people who played an everyday role in the ups and downs roller coaters of respect and support.
Today I can say some one little thing of me is immortalized through the simple art of words.
It's like having all the C02 sucked out of you.
I know so many great poets, writers and artists on this website that I can only say, look at me the most unlikely candidate ever to accomplish anything like this, hold onto your dreams and aim for them, don't be afraid of accomplishing something great and out of the left field.
I believe in you, just like so many believed in me when I never thought,
that any- of this at all could come true.
