Stop Chasing Your Dreams
You’re doing it all wrong.
Meeting new people changes your perspective of things.
They challenge our norms, expectations, and overall view of life. It culminates in a series of behaviour that others would consider in several ways.
Universal rules to live by. Solid life advice or life lessons. Overwhelming privilege.
But at the end of the day, we can boil these people down into two distinct categories: Law-breakers or revolutionists.
In the end, these are people, for better or for worse, that tell us directly or indirectly that our dreams can be obtainable. That the obstacles that we have to overcome are doable because they or someone else has been in a similar situation.
And the only thing that we need to do is listen to their words and to keep chasing our dreams.
To do the impossible as it were.
But is that really it?
Because to keep on chasing dreams is a bit paradoxical the more you think about it in the grander scheme of things.
We are told constantly that our dreams are meant to be hunted down and crushed. To smash our goals. To pursue happiness. To chase our dreams. To shoot for the stars. To do something violent in the name of our ambitions.
