I have a dream! But not everyone has one…

I’ve come to the realization that not everyone has dreams. Not everyone has somewhere to go. I’ve realized that, because I’ve recently had a talk with one of my closest friend. I was crying because I currently am having a hard time moving forward on my way to making my dreams come true. And one thing that she said that stuck to me was this: “You’re lucky you even have dreams!”

I did not really understand what that meant at the time.

My dreams have always been there for me. I’ve always dreamed big. It’s just something natural to me. It’s not just a thought that I have one morning and that I can just forget as the day goes by. It literally is a part of me. It is what makes me get up everyday. It is what keeps me up at night. I live for my dreams. That is why I cannot just give up on them and be what you’d call a “normal” citizen of this planet. I HAVE to make my dreams come true. Because they are who I am and I cannot fully be myself if I am not living my dreams or at least trying to make them come true. If I just stop working on my dreams it is as if I’m letting myself die.

And so I thought that everyone had dreams or goals. But turns out that not everyone has dreams. And I’m not talking about the ones that have them but choose to not act on them. Or the ones that just ignore their dreams.

Some people actually don’t have anything to aspire to. And it saddens me a little bit.

I do think that my dreams are a curse sometimes because sometimes I suffer so much for them that it just hurts me so bad that I want to cry. But they also are first and foremost a blessing. They are the reason why I am alive today. If I didn’t have my dreams to hold on to I would have probably be long gone by now… So to think that some people don’t even have dreams… My heart hurts immensely. I mean, I look at my friend and she is a fairly happy person. She says she doesn’t have a dream but she seems to know where she’s going. And she’s definitely going places. But having her tell me that I was “lucky” to have dreams, I don’t know… it just makes me wonder.

I’m not sure where I’m going with today’s blog but I just want people that have dreams to pursue them! And if you don’t have something to pursue, like Thomas Oppong said “Give yourself something to pursue”. Maybe you’re not like me. Maybe you were not born with a dream and a “plan” already engraved in your mind, your soul and your heart. But I do hope that you’ll find your purpose. I hope that you’ll find your “something to pursue”. But most of all I hope that you’ll find happiness! I hope that you’ll get to do what makes you happy and I hope that you’ll get to be the person that makes you happy. I wish you all the best on this journey that we call life!

KEEP ON DREAMING!

FIND SOMETHING TO DREAM ABOUT AND HOLD ON TO THAT!

AND

DON’T DREAM YOUR LIFE BUT RATHER LIVE YOUR DREAMS!
