Reality and dreams

Dreamers too deeply invested in their own lives often fail to pull the trigger on actions that could potentially spark change. They're too absorbed in social expectations and overly confident that their future will automatically improve. But it won't; time only adds more roadblocks. You know that, and I know that. Many people work 40+ hour jobs and don't have time to pursue their dreams, whether it's learning to cook, building out a van, traveling, or becoming an artist. It seems possible, but realistically, it's not. A lot of people engage in meaningless conversations that turn into voids, yet perhaps letting them indulge in those dreams keeps them going. This might also explain why so many are hooked on Instagram and social media—it lets people feel part of a dream, even if it’s not their own, but merely a spectacle they observe. To feel included in something most will probably never truly be part of is a sad reality many live in.This isn't a call to abandon your dreams. Rather, it's a nudge to consider that if all you're ever doing is dreaming, perhaps it's time to truly wake up. And by waking up, I mean taking decisive action—doing the thing, meeting the person, whatever it may be. Obviously, this is easier said than done. Dreams should serve as a map, pointing us toward our deepest desires and aspirations, yet without action, they remain just out of reach, a vision that will never come to fruition. It's about finding a balance between dreaming and doing, recognizing that dreams are not just destinations but checkpoints along the rollercoaster of life, propelling us forward. The magic happens when we start to align our dreams with actions in real life, transforming them from intangible ideas into reality. The process isn't a single leap but consists of thousands of steps, some quite small, others significant, all looking to the same goal, getting us closer to where we want to be.
