Who you really are...
Did you ever sit back in a comfortable place, and just imagine yourself in the role you were meant to be born in?
I was meant to be born a knight. I can almost see myself on the evening before my official knighting, spending time in prayer and supplication before an altar, my sword strapped to my back. A long ceremonial cloak flows past my plate and chain mail, decorated in the colors of my house. Black, silver, and red.
I would wear my hair long, to show my enemies I'm not afraid to give them the advantage (testosterone-ish? maybe, but this is MY fantasy, not yours).
What about you?

To stand on a stage in front of a crowd of people. To make them laugh until they roll in the aisles, then sober them in a moment of well-placed silence. To bring a perfect nuance, a confident touch, a promise of emotion, a river just under the surface of my skin... from the moment I walk onstage.
To sing at the very top of my voice and feel it ring through the seats, ripple to the very last person sitting there, entranced. To make goosebumps raise on people's arms, to make their heads spin with honesty and pure emotion. To make tears spring to eyes by suspending a note a moment longer than they expected; to make veins thread and overflow with pride at seeing me standing there-- when they are complete strangers.
To fling out my arms, take a stand, be blinded by a spotlight... and just let go. Defying gravity. Defying everyone. To live their dreams for them, in spite of them, because of them.
