I feel like this concept is so common in day to day life yet not talked about in depth this way. Having multiple dreams/wishes is so commonplace yet what’s just as common is having to let one of them go in favor for another you’ve already begun pursuing to a higher extent. So often people naturally lean towards pursuing new things for the fun of it or, as you proposed, because others had/have interest in it. Sometimes, people drop dreams due to a reality faced with their dream and find themself chasing another that they’re just as-or more-passionate about but more able to pursue (whatever the reason may be). Often people let go of those past dreams and don’t think too deeply of it until they remember “wow I used to want to do this” and there’s a degree of bitterness to it. Like you said, it’s possible to return to a dream if the future deems it to be more possible and at that point, I think there’s also a degree of nostalgia that comes with returning to a dream and it really creates a full circle moment. Of course some dreams are never returned to but that doesn’t mean the memory of having them is bad, if anything, the memory is just as bitter as it is sweet. Thank you for the video, it allowed me to delve deeper into a concept that I honestly never thought very deeply about before. You deserve wayyyy more viewership dude.
wow, you had such a genuinely insightful and beautifully written comment. thank you so much for leaving this here, i really appreciated your perspective and it really means a lot that you took the time to watch the video so intently and write all of that out. you're totally right, i think there is some kind of bittersweet nostalgia that comes with returning to a once bygone dream. the sweetness, i think, is from the reminder of what it was like to pursue the dream, the bitterness from the reminder that you left it behind. a lot of people do things without truly caring for them because of pressure to be good at them or pressure to adopt some desirable dream, but in the end I feel as if people will be unhappy or a bit dissatisfied with the choice they make if it is not truly their own. thank you so much for this beautifully said comment, i think i'll always hold this level of passion for this subject close to my heart. thank you so much again, and i never really intended to get viewership with these videos, so it really means a lot that people like you are finding it. hope you're having an amazing year. ❤❤
Letting go of a dream isnt something ive really thought of, in the way you described. I’d compare it to deliberately releasing a ballon, while with my dreams, ive been either clinging on to, like a child with a stuffed animal, or ive pushed them to the bottom of a closet and forgotten about. Sometimes circumstances take them away and i only realize until later. I don’t understand what you’re talking about, with goals, and the necessity of abandoning some to pursue one with substance. I think, maybe all my wants are too shallow to grasp what you’re saying. Im not sure what i want, and what may be good for me, and how those intersect. There’s no clear destination for me as of yet. I have so many small but heavy dreams, and im not quite ready to part with some of them.
i think you left a really introspective comment and i really appreciate you taking the time to write all of this. i think a lot of people don’t truly know what it is they want, and in my experience it’s been because i’ve just taken what everyone tells me and does the “correct path” and everything just kinda falls into a linear roadmap. college, internship, job, marriage, then kids. then repeating it again and again in this cyclical nature, so we usually never move past the dreams and achievements of those who came behind us. but to me, i’ve never found much meaning in this cycle and i believe that we should be able to move farther than the generation before us, to me that’s progress. i’ve spent so long thinking about what it is i want, and by no means is it an easy process. sometimes you’ll realize what you truly want isn’t what others will accept you for. you’re totally right that circumstances can carry away our dreams, and i think that’s owed to a dream not yet being fully formed. i wanted a lot of things when i was younger, but almost all of them just disappeared with time and i think it’s because i always believed them to be impossible. like it was reserved for another life rather than believing it could be accomplished in this one. you wrote an incredibly insightful comment and i really appreciate your perspective and i can see a past version of myself in your words. i think everyone owes it to themself to reach for what they want, even in the smallest of ways like what you want to do this morning or this evening. thank you so much for your comment, your words mean a lot to me.
