Side Effects & Symptoms Of A Dreamer

When I realized I had to get my head out of the clouds, I was thirteen years old. After years of carefully placed conditioning, I began to believe that my dreams would never come true--that I had to live a more "practical" life and think about more "practical" things or I would never ever be able to be happy or get by.

For years, these thoughts plagued me day and night, eventually leading me to spiral into a deep depression that stole the life right out of my soul. There was little that could bring me joy and I stopped interacting and joining in events and anything that wasn't "practical" or "getting me ahead in life". I had lost me.

You see, as a dreamer, you are constantly told that you can't make a living out of a fantasy--that no matter how hard you try, there is just no place in society for "people like that". So let me ask you. Where did that artwork come from that you hang on your walls? Who made every single piece of clothing that covers your body? How can we go on the internet and see pictures of places from all over the world if there is no place for "people like that"?

You see, as a young teenager, I had honestly believed what I had been told, then my brain kicked in and said, "Wait a minute...". All of a sudden, "You need a good education to get anywhere in life" and all of the conditioning I had heard from everyone started to collide and make no sense at all.

Why is graphic design, music, art and literature taught at a university education level if it isn't a "good education"? If you can't possibly amount to anything in life by taking classes on creativity and self expression, why do so many people do it?

Why do people believe in a higher power, and as children why are so many people told to "follow their dreams" if there isn't a place in this world for those who do? As a child, when we bring home artwork from school, or when we complete a compelling essay, why are we congratulated at our successes if we can't even use it to strengthen our futures? None of it made sense to me.

Working your whole life in a job that you go to every day because it's "what people do" robs us of our creativity and need for self expression.

Through the lack of, or losing, of these abilities, we become drones being led around by a societal remote control, believing every day that we have no choice but to do what we are doing and stay where we are because it's more "practical".

Before we realize it, half of our lives have gone by and we are still in the same position we were in the week we left high school--the same routines, the same jobs, the same people--going through the motions every day to come home in the evening to a home you only use for sleeping, eating and weekends, but are too exhausted emotionally and mentally to ever really enjoy. So we go shopping, or find other means to ease the boredom and "make ourselves happy" for a short period of time.

Leo Buscaglia once said, "A life without passion is not living. It's merely existing." So many people in this world believe that their fears will lead them astray if they follow their true passions. They listen to all of those doubts that have been placed within them--all of the conditioning and naysayers--telling them that there is no way their dreams could become a reality.

We encounter genuinely happy people, doing what they love because they took that step that many of us fear, and say, "I wish I could do that" or "I wish I could be like that". The problem is, you can do that, and you already are like that. You just need to believe in yourself instead of listening to everyone else. All of the strength you need is already inside of you.

The symptoms of a dreamer is that they will always be dreamers. We are hardwired to fantasize and entertain our crazy, insane ideas, no matter how far out to left field they may seem. The side effects are that you are told your whole life by other people how you are supposed to be, that you are nuts, and that you are totally off this planet if you ever act on any of those dreams. Choosing not to listen to any of those people is sometimes a scary thing to do because the life of a dreamer is not easy or paved the same way as a "good education" is. The road is grassy and taken far less often out of fear and doubt.

Honestly, I have always loved grass. Perhaps that is my downfall, but perhaps it is also my strength. I'm not afraid to walk where others won't go. I'm not afraid to get stuck in the dirt now and again, and I'm certainly not afraid of people liking me. You know why? When you truly love and believe in yourself and your abilities--when you go out in search of a way to make what you love work--you then become one of those genuinely happy people who others say "I wish I could be like you" too.

We stopped wishing when we realized that "someday" will always be a distant thought in the future that we constantly fantasize about and long for. There is no point in wasting any more time fantasizing about what could be. Our someday started one day about two years ago, and nothing and no one can hold us back now because we know our passions lie deep and our hearts long to be freed today.
