little confession to all of you who feel like me

Going on a mission to find yourself and know what you really want is not an easy thing to do. When I explained why I  took the decision to stop studying and take a year out to find myself, people thought it was not-done. These people were all living life in a rush and didn’t take the time to really look within themselves ...

I didn’t understand this rush and thought, if I don’t do it now at 18.. when will I? So I took my time.

With ups and downs I started to feel how beautiful life is and how many opportunities there are out there for me. But it wasn’t allways easy to live life in a completely different way than others. Students who surrounded me thought I was wasting my time and losing a year. But I knew that this is what I needed and in these difficult moments, there were allways people who motivated me.

One of the most motivating text’s I got was this one. I want to pass this one to you, who also feels that there are other paths to create than the ordinary one.

To the crazy  ones
 
Here’s to the crazy ones.
  The misfits.
    The rebels.
      The troublemakers.
        The round pegs in the square holes.
 
The ones who see things differently.
They’re not fond of rules.
     And they have no respect for the status quo.
 
You can praise them, disagree with them, quote them,
     disbelieve them, glorify or vilify them.
About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them.
      Because they change things.
 
They invent.    They imagine.    They heal.
  They explore.    They create.    They inspire.
    They push the human race forward.
 
Maybe they have to be crazy.
How else can you stare at an empty canvas and see a work of art?
Or sit in silence and hear a song that’s never been written?
Or gaze at a red planet and see a laboratory on wheels?
While some see them as the crazy ones,
   we see genius.

Because the people who are crazy enough to think
they can change the world, are the ones who do.
 

With love,

Chiara.
