living someone else’s dream.

you don’t have time to live someone else’s dream, you only have enough time to live your own dreams.

The last blog post I posted was the review of ‘Love Next Door’ K-drama and when I wrote the review the only thing that kept running through my mind was how the female lead never had a dream because she never thought what she liked she just knew she has to top the school and secure a very good job to make her parents proud. And when a question was raised about her dream when she was in school she did not have any answer and that was astonishing to think about. Having a dream or not both is okay but living off on another person’s dream, on another person’s expectations and on another person’s will is something we never understand until we realize that the pin has reached its limit and is now poking you every now and then. Everyone should have the right to think about what they want. In school, it is not known to us how adulthood is and we are ready to live off our parents’ dream of us becoming what they want. But I have seen that the fuel of it doesn’t last a long run and with that, all fears of breaking our parent’s expectations, starting new, and finding out what we like, get a lot real. I fear that when someone in the future will ask me what my dream was, how I am going to answer them, and if I am happy with what I am doing right now. I don’t know what I will answer to them because in school you don’t realize the importance of what a dream is. You don’t realize that living off another person’s dream will make you so exhausted and fill you with a lot of fears about upsetting people around you. I just want to let you know that the dream and the life you are living should only be worthy of you, you should only be afraid of upsetting yourself, and you should have your own expectations of yourself, and it’s your life. At the end of the day, you will realize that no matter how much you do people are still going to be upset with you so live the life the way you want. Start fresh and I know it is frightening but what makes you happy is worth everything.

Life is too short to be working on someone else’s dream.

An Adult Dream.

“Adulthood is like looking both ways before you cross the street and then getting hit by an airplane.”

In the last post, I said that life is a rollercoaster that we don’t want to ride but we had to because we have no choice other than that. Considering how so many people have different reactions while sitting or having thought about riding the rollercoaster some hate it while others love experiencing it however that few-second ride makes the person feel all the emotions so much that too at once. When we were teenagers we had dreams of getting good marks, making good lifetime friends, having good relationships with family, and getting into a good university. However, the second you enter your adult life everything changes from thoughts, feelings, expectations, and even body. Being an adult is so hard because people expect us to behave like the obedient ones who know what they are doing but in reality, we are far from it. There is so much difference in being an adult, your whole dreams change, and your whole way of thinking changes from what you thought in your teenage dreams. As an adult your list of dreams is not having good marks but satisfying yourself, making your sanity a priority rather than trying to maintain relationships, having a small group of friends or even one real friend, and finding out what we actually want and what actually makes us happy. When you see the difference between adult dreams and teenage dreams you can see that in teenage life we try to keep up with others’ expectations and focus on more materialistic things, however, in adult life, we truly get to understand that nothing matters as much as ourselves and that is why we focus more on realistic things. But the funny and sad thing is that adult dreams are way harder to achieve because the most important thing that includes is feeling which we can’t control. I just know that whatever I want to do I just want to be happy but being an adult and trying to be just happy is so hard as well. I saw this quote somewhere “Be the adult that you needed as a child” and it truly changes my whole perspective and helps me know and achieve my adult dream.

The level-up is about improving, not impressing.

A Teenage Dream.

those teenagers who sit in their rooms at night cry themselves to sleep were once children with light in their eyes and hope in their heart.

How wired is it that everyone looks forwards towards teenage life and has so many teenage dreams but when we actually get to live it the expectations versus reality really strikes us. Yesterday I was listening to Teenage Dreams – by Stephen Dawes and at that point, I know I need to write about it. Even though there are so many languages in this world and each person living know or understand at least one of them however never ask a teenager how life is going because no language can describe it as it’s all about feelings that are always left unheard. To be honest teenage period is the middle part where one goes from without knowing and understanding life to getting ready to deal with all of them at once. In childhood, we never really get the taste of what actually life is whereas in the teenage period where everything starts to make sense and we get to see the trailer and finally the legal life where life truly shows what life exactly is. When people say that surviving in teenage life is harder, it is because what you will do in that period truly plays a crucial role in your future. I have noticed and felt as well that the teenage period truly makes you feel all the worst feelings in this world from getting to see that except you everyone else is going great, surrounded by a good family, and going on trips where else on the other hand there is nothing but stress and wanting to do better not for yourself but for others.

To be honest teenage period shows a whole new perspective to us and this time is where people dream so much to achieve once they reach adulthood. Adolescent dreams are all about getting good marks, surviving high school, making new friends, creating a stronger bond with family, creating lifelong friends and memories, and just enjoying the vibe it gives to us. If you are a teenager and fighting to get your life together let me tell you to dream as much as you want and just enjoy the life of that period because trust me ahead it’s all a roller coaster that you never wanted to go on but you had to.

Dreams!

The world has never let us dream, nor has it ever taught us how to dream. They say it’s your fault, but it’s not. Don’t blame yourself. It’s okay to lean back when you are tried. If someone’s tired, become their pillar of support. This is the reason why I started making music. I hope our music can become your little source of strength.

You will become something only if you have a dream. You are on the right path if you have a dream. If you have dreams you will be successful. How much have we heard about this? Like when somebody asks you what you want to become and if you have no answer then you have no future that’s the most common reaction we get from people. But honestly, if you are doing nothing, thousands of people will be there telling you how worthless you are and if you are doing something nobody will encourage you. Funny isn’t it? How this world wants you to do something yet never let you? I just want to say that – It’s okay if you have no dream, it’s okay if you do not think like others, and it’s not possible for everyone to have a dream of doing something. You will figure it out as you grow up and you will understand what makes you happy and what is worth your time. Being an adult makes you more mature in things that interest you and whatnot, it’s just you who need to figure it out. I saw so many people took things either their parents told them or they just winged it and let me tell you that nor your parents or anyone is going to live the life you have chosen but you are going to do, so choose something that makes you happy, make the decision for yourself because you are going to sit in that damn chair in the office for hours where you could have done things that light up your heart even if takes more time. Just be happy and don’t give up, I know you are going to figure it out like you always have:) Do what makes you happy and not this damn world because if you love yourself and believe in yourself then you don’t need anyone else to dream for you!

Keep Smiling, you are loved:) ~ MA
