Reflections on Life and Unfulfilled Dreams

 

If you remember, back in 10th grade, 12th grade, and even during our college years, we spent a lot of time thinking about life. But as time passes, we often don’t realize where all those thoughts and dreams went. When those memories resurface, we may feel like we’ve wasted so much time, and we sometimes lack the courage to pursue those dreams.

As time goes on, maturity comes into play, and while many people might say this is simply a part of growing up, I won't argue with that. But what I feel is that time brings stability to our thoughts and actions, which ultimately improves our decision-making ability. Eventually, we realize what we truly wanted to do in life versus what we are actually doing.

Many of us have likely asked ourselves, "What did I want to do in life, and what am I doing now?"

But here's the real issue: Do we have the courage to live out our unfulfilled dreams today? Most people will offer vague answers, citing various reasons to justify themselves. But the truth is, many of us simply don't have the courage. And perhaps, we’ll continue living with that regret.

I still find myself struggling to understand why we can’t find the time to pursue even our smallest desires, such as learning the guitar, cycling, sketching, and more. We need to seriously think about this.

Even today, I feel restless about those dreams I once hoped to live. And now, perhaps, I will truly make an effort to fulfill those wishes.

In the end, the result doesn’t matter as much as the fact that we tried.
