Dreams

When we were younger we were told to follow our dreams.  We were told that there is nothing better than doing what we love.  However, when you grow older and begin to think about your future, people criticize you for following your dreams.  People tell you not to follow your dreams but to be realistic.  Who said that dreams cannot become a reality?  What happened to us?  What happened to the people who told us to follow our dreams no matter what?  What happened to those who told us to make our dreams a reality?  I'm not quite sure where those people went, but they shouldn't have left.  Dreams are what make reality bearable.  Dreams are what spark change.  Dreams are what help us make sense of the terrible and messed up world around us.  Dreams are what make the world go round.  The way I see it, you should always follow your dreams.  It doesn't matter what your dreams are and it doesn't matter what others think of them.  You should always follow your dreams and anyone who tells you otherwise isn't worth it.  You don't need any of that negativity in your life.
