Am I the one driving? Not necessarily.\u0026nbsp;\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nI dream of a leader; filled with a sense of responsibility, honesty, and devotion. They want to\u0026nbsp;\n\nshow me everything as I want to show them. Do I want to take responsibility?\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nI can when needed, but I am a follower; filled with trust, honesty, and loyalty to my leader.\u0026nbsp;\n\nAlthough submissive, I can stand when needed. I can take my own as I see wrong happening.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nIt takes not much to catch my attention. The complete overview of the city; warm lights of the\u0026nbsp;\n\nstreet at late dawn.\u0026nbsp;\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nI see myself independent; able to be by myself, but also able to rely on one other person in that\u0026nbsp;\n\nfactor. Some things require another, but it takes time to get there.\u0026nbsp;\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nThe sound of music plays when the conductor is ready to count off. Standing at center front of\u0026nbsp;\n\nthe band, they make themselves known. Being seated in that music, I only play when told.\u0026nbsp;\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nThis road trip of music and leaderships is a long one. It may take over a thousand miles to reach\u0026nbsp;\n\nthe destination, it may take more. But to be able to experience all of the things around you\u0026nbsp;\n\nwithin that time span is to be more alive.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nYou see more than what has been kept around you during your childhood and teenage years.\n  \n  \n\n"}
