Dreams

I wonder: if cars have navigational parts to let them know what to do next, why cant we have it as well? Wont it be so much more convinient, to have a bar telling us what move is best now, what optimalizes us next?

Sometimes I feel lost. Like my GPS decided to mess around with my mind and left me clueless.

When do we know when to dream, when do we know when to let go and live life as it is?

I am a dreamer, I love dreaming up to the point that it may be harmful to my wellbeing. I dreamt big, parches of adolescence when we think we can do anything we want, anything we set our minds unto.

I dreamt big.

As time goes by, slowly but surely I started to reshift my gears. I learnt to dream small and live large, trying to be content and to squeeze my life until the last possible drop. To appreciate the power of small things we take for granted, and most of all to find happiness.

But when do we know that we are instead compromising?

Last month I decided it's time for change. To try something new. And now I feel like I'm walking on eggshells. Precarious, afraid that I will step on the wrong one and hurt myself.

When do we know when to stop dreaming?

When do we know that we're falling on the same trap all over again?

More importantly, how do we stop when we realize that the dream has started to eat us alive?
