OK im bored and im gana type the compo i did for my mid years :D ..
As the winter cold blew into our faces , the only thing visible was the majestic aurora in front of our eyes. It was spread across the horizon above all that was left of the trees. This was one of my dreams. To see and take in the beauty of an aurora. After what seemed like an eternity , Sarah and i headed back to our cabin , leaving behind a trail of footprints on the snow.
I had alot of dreams when i was young. I wanted to be a full time musician , a chef and a movie producer. But life is a series of pulls back and forth. You want to do one thing , but you are bound to do something else. There was a friend i had in secondary school whose name was James. James was the person that encouraged me into the world of music , often sending me CDs of various rock musicians. I fell face down in love the first time Oasis was played. I Took out part of my savings and bought myself an acoustic guitar and that was when it all started , my musical journey. We formed a band and found members to join our little project. Little did we know this little project was the start of something big and exciting.
After we graduated from secondary school, the band was sort of on a rocky ground and we decided to disband it as we had to go our separate ways eventually. I pursued my movie producer dream in a film school and i thought that was what i was to do for a living. The film industry was a harsh place for me. Straight out of film school i got a job at a production company through some contacts and friends. Althought it was a small position , i treated it seriously and believed i really could rise above to the top through time. After a few years , A voice inside my head is constantly telling me that it was a dead end job and i should pursue my other dreams. I have read about hearing voices was a sign of chronic depression and i just laughed it off and pretended it was fine.
During a filming of a cooking show, i bumped into sarah at the production studio. Back then it would have been impossible that i had a girlfriend because of my inability to talk and go up to girls but we hit it off well and soon got really close. She was a chef's assistant and i thought to myself this was my chance , my chance to fulfill my dream of being a chef since the movie producer gig was not working out really well. I quit my job and went to Sarah's restaurant to work as a kitchen assistant. in the kitchen , there was always an awkward feeling and a load of things for me -- to burn. I found out that cooking was not as easy as i read in the cooking for dummies book. It required constant adjustments of the flame and a knowledge of spices , which unfortunately , i lacked of. Sarah and i were talking one night and she asked me if i had other dreams and i told her about the band. She persuaded me to pursue it and i called up my old bandmates.
I Called up james and he was totally onboard. He had been playing at bars ever since he graduated from college. The rest of the band was good to go too and we met up and planned to have the jam of our lives. I pulled out my guitar case from under the bed and wiped the dust off the cover , having that nostalgic moment. I started playing a tune and lyrics just popped into my head, like it was what i was i was meant to do. I began writing about everything , my failed careers , Sarah and everything else. I introduced the songs to the rest of the band and we decided to make a demo of it.
Months of work and money spent on the recordings at the studio finally paid off when i got a called from a record label. They wanted to represent us and give us a record deal. We were smiling out of our wits when we heard it. We took up on the offer and were soon touring the country. Our album sales had peaked the records of other local bands and we were invited to play at the famous Winter Jam in Alaska. Our drummer quit his job and we went there and we played the show of our lives , the crowd began to sing with us. I realised that i had written an anthem , people understood the song and it was the best feeling one could ever have. After the concert , Sarah and i took a walk towards the lake. I told her about how my dreams of being a musician was fulfilled and that there was one last dream i could fulfill now , and that was to see an aurora. As she held my waiting for it , i finally understood something. Rejection is life's greatest lesson , a pull from something that was not meant to be. And motivation is life's greatest gift , a push forward to something new.
