Entry 6

Everyone always seems to say “follow your dreams”. But what if your dreams are so big they can’t even be attained? What I think happens to most people in society is that different priorities or even different situations come into our lives that derail us from our dreams. But maybe, that’s why they are called dreams… They are meant to be there to be sought after but never are really attainable... Life happens, and there’s a lot of things that can happen within it that can push you off that track, potentially in a negative way in which you will never achieve it or in a positive way where your priorities change.

Maybe it’s the fact that you now have a child and your future does not matter to you but what your child’s future will be able to achieve and discover through their own dreams. Or I believe, sometimes we have those boundaries which can leave us disabled, financially in-stable, or another dilemmas that makes that dream that we wished so hard for just fade away, because at this point it’s nearly impossible. So is there a point to dreaming? To wish for that amazing life of whatever you greatly desire to become a reality?

 In my opinion, despite the wrong paths we face there’s nothing more powerful than dreaming, because with dreaming, you are able to find that happiness that someday in the future you will find that dream you've always wanted. If one gets crushed, your imagination and will has the power to create an even better dream, because it’s worth it.

 My father once told me, I gave up everything; my house, my job, my family, my dreams for you. The thought of this crushed me, but I realized that he hadn't given up on his dream but he took the risk to pursue the dream of providing his family a better life which in the long run would return to him regaining his dreams. I guess what I’m trying to get at is that, things may block the way of our own dreams, but through believing even beyond that, our wishes will come back to us and the dream we once had will become greater than we ever imagined.
