Big dreams.

Long term I have goals, ambitions and hopes. I mainly pride myself on being a realist and always airing on the cautious side of things, sometimes though this isn’t always the best thing to do. Being a realist, for me personally, means seeing and having dreams and great ambitions but just not always thinking that you can reach them. It sometimes leaves me rather pessimistic and “glass half empty”-like.

That being said, sometimes I have times when I feel like the world is my oyster. Instead of feeling like a small fish in an ever-increasing pond, I think that I can accomplish anything I set my mind to. I want to jump on these rare moments and capture their childish beauty. It is almost like when you’re very young and are asked “What would you like to do when you grow up?” and the responses tend to be “a princess” “a singer/actress” “superhero”.

I could now say that if you put your mind to something, you can achieve anything. For some this is accurate and they have often put a lot of hard work in to things to get there. However, the realist inside me is dying to say that this is only a small few, and that this won’t happen to anyone other than the very “lucky”. But then, the child-like aspect of my being keeps reassuring me that dreams are magical, without them life can get predictable. The bigger the dreams the more the passion, and the more passion the bigger and bigger dreams become, and life just becomes so much more alive.
