Dreaming Goes Away

Have you ever thought about the Earth and how it never stops moving, even when something happens to it, it just keeps going.

It becomes a fantasy to be that strong, and when we realize that we can’t we move on to the next thing. Time being frozen. Everyone around you stopping in their tracks.

We know that it will never happen, but the idea gives you some hope for a comeback. Because in this dream no one pressures you, no one tells you that you aren’t good enough, nothing bad can happen to you. It is so uplifting that you feel stronger than ever.

When I was little my Mom used to tell me to remember my dreams, because they are what keep you young. Little kids have this overwhelming imagination that you begin to envy. A box is just a box to you, but to them it’s a world of endless playtime. Maybe it’s because they have got so much time left that nothing seems out of reach. While we seem to lose grip.

Hold on to that moment of being carefree. Taking a breather because it might be the last dream you’ve got.
