Do YOU dream?


I do everything in my power NOT to. Except at night (which I have very little control over), my dreams are very non-existent.


“I’m sick of following my dreams. I’m just going to ask them where they’re goin’, and hook up with them later”


That is currently my facebook status.

Trust me, I feel that way 100 percent. All the time.

It isn't really a recent occurrence. I probably started feeling this way a year ago... Now it is my life's motto. I realized that my dreams are not coming true, they are probably not possible, and life is going to happen the way it's going to happen no matter what I do or don't do.

So what's the point? Exactly. I give up.

I don't mean to sound pessimistic. I'm really not. I am just done trying to make things happen that don't stand a chance of happening in the first place. How much pain and heartache would I have saved myself if I had always lived by that rule? An exponential amount, I'm telling you.

No worries. I am stronger because of it. And NOW I finally learned my lesson. No more dreams. No more wishing/hoping/begging/rearranging. I'm just going to let life happen. I am going to numb myself and let the fire and ice that is my life wash over me.

Maybe some day some of my dreams will have come true. Perhaps they will allow me to "hook up with them."

Or maybe not.

Either way, I am done following them.

Dreams are overrated anyway.

Too much time ... Too much energy ... NO pay back.

Just THINKING about the dreams I had two years ago makes me sick. What did my hours of daydreaming, discussing, deciding, imaging and planning get me?

Pain.

So let's recap.

I'm sick of following my dreams. (Heck, I am SICK of dreaming.)

I am going to ask them where they are going. (Or rather, someday I might wonder what happened to my dreams.)

And I am going to hook up with my dreams later. (Really, I just hope someday I will look back on everything and say, "Hey, I'm content.")

What about you? Do YOU dream?
