Dreams
I've always had a grand dream, and like other people, I try to make it happen.
In order to get that dream, you have to put a lot of energy into it; you need to focus and give it your all. But alas, distractions often come and sidetrack you from your goal. When
that happens, you have to see whether or not that distraction is worth the time you're spending.
But that's not the only thing you have to put into consideration. What if this certain 'distraction' is not inanimate or nonliving? What if this is about something more important---say, a human being. Suddenly, you have to work your life around that person in order to meet the basic needs of a good relationship. It's true that we all deal with dozens of relationships in our lifetime; we have our basic families, our friends, our teachers and several other important people who make such great impacts in our lives. But they--more often than not--support our dreams and let us go during the times that we need to focus on a specific task; they, too have their own lives to deal with, after all. But what if this
new relationship you have with this specific person needs constant work---so much work that it becomes a distraction instead of a supporting factor? As some people would say: love blinds you from reason. What should you do, then? Should you give up your grand dream and settle for something that could replace it? Or should you let go of that person to pursue your dream?
I still have that dream, and I'm holding on to it tightly. I'm hoping in my heart to make it happen one day, and hopefully without having to make a choice of letting either one go.
