Don't Let Your Dreams Die

Have you ever had a dream...a burning desire so fierce that for years you thought about it, fantasized about it, and felt like you weren't where you were meant to be out of want for that dream to come true? So have I...every single day...for countless years.

You see, growing up, we are taught nowadays to think and act like "everyone else" in whichever society we are raised. We are told what is and is not acceptable. We are brainwashed into believing that you go through school, get a job, settle down, buy a house, get married, have kids...the list goes on! The problem I found with this ideology that had been drilled into my head over and over throughout the years was that I wasn't happy.

It didn't make me happy to think about staying in one place for the rest of my life so I'd have security. It didn't bring joy into my heart to think that because I was "supposed" to be living in a certain way, and was, that everything was exactly as it should be--that I should have no want for anything more.

I found myself constantly wanting more...every year...every month...every day of my life. The life I was living, while being constantly praised by others, was very unfulfilling. Yes, I had security. Yes, I had saved up a bunch of money, but for what? Because I was "supposed" to?

There is a very real struggle set before each one of us when it comes to "breaking the mold". Most of the time, if not every time, people you know will say you are crazy for ever even entertaining the thought that there may be more to life. Their fear and comfort levels prevent them from believing that dreams are placed in our heads for a reason, not by chance.

Sure, my dreams have always been huge, but that's how I'm built. I don't see partial pictures, I see the whole book...I want the whole book! My life had become a permanent search for the happiness outside of myself in which I longed so badly to experience--the complete and utter joy that comes with calculated reckless abandon. Everything had always been so structured and black and white for me, but my dreams were filled with vivid colors and streaks of light where others feared to wander. For years, I listened to everyone I knew tell me that they were just dreams, to get my head out of the clouds, to focus on the good I already had, but there was no way I could ever expect them to understand that they had the same hard-wired brainwashing we all did without them getting angry or defensive, so I stayed quiet in my beautiful, dreaming, mind.

The day came when I had renewed faith in my dreams, and was utmost certain that I would see them in real life. I stopped listening to everyone around me and started living on my terms, questioning everything I had been "taught" or thought I "knew", as none of that was my learning, rather perceptions of someone else's.

Not long after this, I met my husband, Kris. Now, generally when people meet, there is a while for getting to know each other and for dating, or courting, depending on where you are from. However, for us, it was much different. We met, two days later we told each other what we wanted in life (ie. a family, to travel, etc), and within the week, we were living together and have been together ever since. Quite a few people in my life came at me with that same, "You're crazy", "You don't even know him", "What are you doing" mindset, but instead of being swayed by all of their opinions this time, I felt sorry for them because they lacked the joy in their own lives to be supportive of someone else's. I wasn't crazy. It's been almost six years, and two beautiful children later, and I'm still not crazy.

So where am I going with all of this? That's simple. By ignoring the conditioning, and brainwashing, and all of the naysayers, I stayed strong in my mind and in my beliefs that dreams are there for a reason and not by chance. Because of this, I met the man of my dreams, have been blessed with two beautiful boys, and now share those same "crazy" dreams with someone else who has them too!

Together with our boys, we plan to find every image we have ever seen in any dream, to live a totally free, self-sustaining life, to teach our children to be open minded, kind and helpful, and to show our hearts, minds, souls, and children that life is made of dreamers, but it takes courage to follow those dreams and leap into the unknown.
