Realizations

There are times in one's life when certain actions and/or goals become viable in one's mind. for instance, I was at a Collective Soul concert when I was 12, and I suddenly realized, these are real people, and if they can do it, so can I.
This is when I started teaching myself how to play my dad's accoustic guitar.
There was no catalyst with writing, however. I just started, though only recently did I actually realize it's possible for me to publish this, rather than merely thinking about it in my daydreams.
This Realization crap happens to me all the time. I remember when i first realized i could date the girls i went to school with.
The dawn sun illuminates the landscape....
Oh... cool.
It's strange, though, talking to Matthew Stover has actually cemented something in my mind. I'm not sure what, but something.
