To Dream Or Not To Dream? Through out the years, I would lie down on my bed and close my eyes and picture what a perfect life would be for me. I'd be really clever, have the greatest friends, the perfect positions and etc. Those kind of visions really would make me feel good about myself because I try to imagine myself being that person. Only did that sometimes motivate me to work lol. but the thing is, have i wasted those few moments by having that kind of vision? Many consider dreams as a waste of time. They say you can dream and dream but are you really going to achieve what you want in your dreams in reality? Life is a struggle, and its very 'once-in-a-while' where we have our ups and life seems all good. I started off this year thinking I was prepared for Year 12 and that my vision was going to happen. Unfortunately, I was stuck in a rut after the first few weeks. I took chemistry. I'd have to say that decision was one of the worst choices I've ever made in life. Then, I had many rejections along the way. That just made my vision seem like a dot. And the studying? boy, i was NOT bothered. the school year tired me out so much. the vision just was like a disappeared. So then I reflect back on my life, and I think - do you think its better to be a realist or someone who should dream? But when you look at the kind of vision I had, You can say that i didn't totally waste those few moments. I guess its important to have that motivation. But dreams can also crush you. You may be motivated to go around and experience but if you realize that the experience wasn't what you expected, your world seems to fall apart. I know this is morbid ahah but i found this quote somewhere in my computer. i wrote it a while backlike year 10 or something? no clue! : every blossoming flower is like a dream.
our ideas flourishing, bursting, and our passion growing strong
when the flower blooms, we feel unstoppable and
we have every chance in the world with our ideas.
however, as they say, what goes up must come down.
ideas are hard to put into action or plans of action dont go according to
your ideas. the flower starts to be weighed down
not by its ideas but by it's faith of ever completing the dream.
the flower falls downwards, and wilts.
and so i tell you,
every blossoming flower is like a dream,
that grows and wilts. - Aruna I kind of still stick by this because you can dream beyond your wildest measures but you can not always get a 100% wat u want. and what i expressed can basically show how it feels to not get the dream you want and why it shouldn't be relied on so much. What I really think? I'm pretty indecisive at times but I think its a balance. Dreams exist for a reason. It's a form of telling you what your aims in life may be. And I guess achieving your aims is part of realism but you shouldn't be disheartened if you don't achieve some of the things which you thought would happen. because it isn't a perfect world and thats where realism comes around - its an evil thing lol. but never let your dreams die but the last thing you want to do is expect too much cuz if you base your life on something that is temporary in your imagination, everything will seem to fall apart. Dare to dream. Dare to take risk. Dare to fail. Dare to let go of the things that bother you. Dare to be you and to be the best you can be. Dare to live the best before you die. 
Don't let the flower of your dreams wilt. Let them grow and if some of them don't grow to their full potential, plant new ones till you've got a garden. Some plants are better than none :)
