Dreams

Everyone has dreams. Some have just simple, modest dreams while others, dream of achieving greatness...

But what happens when our dreams are shattered and we are left to walk upon our own boulevard of broken dreams? Some collapse into despair and vexation, unable to rise again. Some, gather their strength and start from scratch again.

Some people accept this gigantic blow with optimism, discovering the blessing in disguise, learning from past mistakes, rising from the ashes again like a phoenix and in the end, sticking all the broken pieces of this shattered dream back into a solid reality.Unfortunately, some lose all their hopes. They see no light at the end of this tunnel, only a dead end. With the entrance blocked by a rock slide of broken dreams, they are trapped within their own darkness, created by the despair which they've succumbed to at the moment of the destruction of their treasured vision.

Maybe life isn't about getting what we want. Maybe life isn't about realising all our dreams. Maybe it is about recognizing this dream, and try to get it. Appreciating the small victories in the process. Learning from the small failures. Admiring the struggle it takes to stand up again after tumbling over failure. In the end, having the courage to still dream after countless failure is reason enough to celebrate.
