What if life was like a dream?

Every time life worked in our favor, we gave ourselves more time to go back and appreciate it. Let the good time’s linger. What if when the dangers in our nightmares became to imminent we jumped from our sleep to awake in our warm cozy beds? How much easier would life be if none of the pains of today were real? They were moments in time that would become a distant memory in just a few short minutes. The fogginess of pain would disappear and life would continue in all of its ordinary glory.

But you can’t escape pain or wish it away. The human experience forces us to feel, even in moments we desperately want to numb. We have to face our problems and fight through the lingering heartache. You can’t sleep through life. If today feels like the nightmare,

tomorrow will be the same until you find the courage to brave the monsters in your mind. Face them head on by forcing yourself to feel the wrath of life’s heart breaks. Only then can we accept that even the nightmares we face with our eyes open, can’t kill us. Fear won’t kill you, but it can destroy your hopes, dreams, and future if you let it. You must chose to be brave. Instead of retreating every time life gets a little scary, go forward. Slay the dragons in your mind. It’s the only way to be free. To make life a dream that’s worth sleeping through.
