Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times, one only remembers to turn on the light. - Albus Dumbledore
Do you sometimes sit and wonder what you are doing? What is your purpose of living or are you even living or just surviving?
I'm sure all of us have and as we grow older these questions become more and more complex sometimes, even terrifying. Sometimes we think our life is a total waste. If the world is just an illusion then what is the purpose of living. But then you dream… You dream of all the wonderful possibilities of living. And you find solace in your dreams. “I want to fly, I will study and become a pilot…” “I want to make a difference in the world” etc. And as you are on your journey towards your dream you will come across people who will condemn you for the dreams you dream and for the thing you do. People are constantly looking for faults in other people so that they can feel better about themselves. Sometimes these people might be your closest friends your family etc. but you know what keep fighting to live your dream. . And of course you will also come across people who will support you encourage you and inspire you to complete your journey.
Mostly in our Asian society if your dream or aspiration is not related to medicine engineering or law it is squished like a bug. I would know; I speak from experience. Some of us of course get lucky and can lay the foundations underneath their castles in the air. But most of us get stuck doing the things we hate because we are not allowed to dream of the things we love.
And so we wait, we tell ourselves just one more year just few more days till we become our own people and can do what we like. We are always waiting for that one moment where we can metamorphosis from a caterpillar and escape this cocoon and go on our adventures as beautiful butterfly. And if we believe in our wings we will surely fly. That’s the trick believing in yourself.
