    I gave up on my dream

    Yes, you read that, I gave up on my dream..... We all build castles in the air, sometimes overstepping the bounds of what can be real and what can't. I am one of those naive, soon reality gets you unprepared and it all comes crashing down. Those were the days when I was an innocent dreamer...untouched by the harsh reality.

    No more dreams, they say...get in line! they say, Give up, they say...
    But no more...no more giving up! I say...
    What if the reality is harsh? I shall adapt and survive!
    I shall go on and on...1 step at a time...1 brick at a time. I am my best self when I am invested in my craft, I say...
    Mistakes? failures? Oh, I wear them as badges.
    set aside my ego...it gave me nothing but insecurities.
    I shall go all guns blazing! when they come...
    I will go if I have to go but I will go down swinging...really hard, I say.

    A great man once said...

    "It is not the critic who counts;
    not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles,
    or where the doer of deeds could have done them better.
    The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena,
    whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood;
    who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again,
    because there is no effort without error and shortcoming;
    but who does actually strive to do the deeds;
    who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions;
    who spends himself in a worthy cause;
    who at the best knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement,
    and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly,
    so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."

"There has always been... The Hope. However low a man may fall....there has always been a way out of it.  There has always been... The Hope."

Year 2420.....40 years have passed since the end of World War 3. The world is now nowhere near to what it used to be. Fourteen safe zones were established all around the world, humanity's last refuge. The rest of the world has fallen to something worse than nuclear radiation and its fallout. The safe zones were divided and ruled over by 7 groups, the so-called 'The Watchers of God', answerable only to the frantic dictator cult 'Gods Mercy'. Midst this chaos, a mysterious man ascended from the depth of darkness, to be the Divine.
