Truth
I have always thought that it is better to be realistic than to hope or dream. I have recently had reality slapped in my face because on my own I was having a hard time accepting it. So what if being realistic takes away the few things that bring me happiness within this fleshy, mortal, societal, cognitive prison of mine? It is better to understand what is real and what is fantasy. It protects me from future agony. I would rather I understand rationally how life must progress as opposed to hoping and dreaming until the very last moment when I am dropped into the abyss. It is better to be prepared, to understand how my life will proceed instead of wanting. Wanting? Hope? Dreams? I must cast them aside. They are not achievable. I must be done with them.
Why doesn’t it make me feel better?
Please… stop.

Cellist...
Never give up on your dreams. Yes, they may seem unattainable now - impossible, unreachable, distant. But all it takes is a leap of faith.
Scud, bro. I'm going through the same troubles you are - I have these hopes and dreams that seem as impossible to reach as a distant star. But I can still see that star - it's there, twinkling in the corner of my vision. Reality is tough. Reality is hard. Reality can be a pile of crem rubbed into your face. But what I say to you is this:
Life is a balance. We hope for the best, but expect the worst. We have to be strong to stand, and yet we are soft inside. Our dreams, our hopes... they are the chinks in our armour, that one target in the face of reality. And boy, does the world love to stick a dagger in and twist. But just because we have to follow the path of reality does not mean that our dreams are suddenly unattainable. Poof, gone. Never to be seen again. No, the path we follow is just that - a path among many in our lives. We can choose what paths we take.
So don't be afraid to dream, don't be afraid to fantasize. That is what makes us human. What makes us real. Continue to dream. It's not a bad thing to have a reality check now and then. We need it - but do not bottle up your dreams and throw them in the trash. You are worth it. Remember: It's okay to stumble. Do not fear failure. *hugs* You're awesome, mate. I hope you know that.
