- --------------------------

Do you ever feel like a volcano that's about to explode but then right before you do, someone puts a cork on your top? What happens then? Simple physics tells you that pressure will start to build, and the intensity will increase. Then one of two thing will happen:

1. The top is pulled out and everything will come shooting out, much higher and more forceful then if it didnt get capped.

or

2. The cap is so tight that the volcano itself will implode.

Why i bring this up, is because i feel like that's us (dreamers). These group of individuals whose talents and passions and drives are all bottled up within us. Deep down inside we know the strength of our characters, yet this limbo, this cap, restrains us from exploding to our built up potential.

Some of us, have been building up pressure for a long time, and just like volcanos, we have side vents to let out some of that pressure. But this this cant drag on for too long cus i feel it really will damage some of us. This stuff weighs heavy.

But i see that things are lined up like the title for this blog. I'm on the very first dash, and where im trying to go is the very last dash. The missing dash is the DREAM act. Just the last piece of the puzzle.

  1. I think the psychological effects on us are huge, and unfortunately hardly ever touched upon. Its like you said, all of this builds up, and when there really is no avenue to release this frustration then it can become scarring.

    I personally feel like i'm prevented from breathing, and im noticing that im increasingly cynical and angry. Which is not good.

    We all need that last piece real bad.

    BTW great idea on the Vblog!
