No Boundaries

 My sweet, amazing dad dedicated a song to me when I was 18. This may sound like no big deal, but it was, and it is, and it means so much to me. He dedicated a song to my sister when she was 18 and when I was graduating from high school I told him I wanted a song. He thought about it for a long while and came back to me with the song "No Boundaries" by Kris Allen. This whole story may sound cheesy, but guess what? It means more than you know. I was going through my personal hell when my dad dedicated this song to me. It was what I needed to hear, and call it cliche, but it encourages me every time I listen to this song or read the lyrics. Through many experiences I've learned to break down toxic boundaries that the world has put on me that were holding me back. Think about the things you could accomplish in your life if you believed there were no boundaries. The world puts these boundaries on us, but why do we have to follow them? We don't. Really, think about it! It's like a little kid who tells you they're going to be an astronaut or a movie star, or a rocket scientist or even a garbage man when they grow up. They do not know what a boundary is and that is what makes them free to be whatever they want to be. The world is theirs. And the world is ours if we stop believing in these things called boundaries. 


"Seconds, hours, so many days
You know what you want but how long can you wait?
Every moment lasts forever
When you feel you lost your way

And what if my chances were already gone?
Started believing that I could be wrong
But you give me one good reason
To fight and never walk away

With every step you climb another mountain
Every breath it's harder to believe
You make it through the pain, weather the hurricanes
To get to that one thing

Just when you think the road is going nowhere
Just when you almost gave up on your dreams
They take you by the hand and show you that you can
There are no boundaries!
There are no boundaries!

I fought to the limit to stand on the edge
What if today is as good it gets?
Don't know where the future's headed
But nothing's gonna bring me down

I've jumped every bridge and I've run every line
I've risked being saved but I always knew why
I always knew why!

So hear I am still holding on!

With every step you climb another mountain
Every breath it's harder to believe
You make it through the pain, weather the hurricanes
To get to that one thing

Just when you think the road is going nowhere
Just when you almost gave up on your dreams
They take you by the hand and show you that you can

You can go higher, you can go deeper
There are no boundaries above and beneath you
Break every rule 'cause there's nothing between you and your dreams

With every step you climb another mountain
Every breath it's harder to believe

Yeah! There are no boundaries
There are no boundaries!

With every step you climb another mountain
Every breath it's harder to believe
You make it through the pain, weather the hurricanes


There are no boundaries"


Thank you daddy.
