What It Means To Have Your Dreams Met

Everyone dreams of being famous. But you can't be famous without doing something. In fact, I wouldn't call it famous, it's more like having your dreams met.

My dreams are to be an artist whose drawings are known around the world; an author whose stories are read to inspire; a musician whose music is heard and an animator whose animations are watched. But I guess these dreams are not special within the world of creativity. And it's not just creative people - every person in this world has big dreams to achieve. So why would mine be any different? Well, for someone who experiences health issues day in day out, those dreams mean a lot more than anything.

If and when all my dreams are met, I hope that it would last for ever. Not only would it help me, but it will help my family. Not that I am ungrateful for the help and treatment I am getting now, but I worry for the future. What would happen when my parents go? Right now, it feels quite lonely with the rest of my family far apart, and almost all my friends having partners or getting married; having a job and a having a family of their own. They have no time for me any more. I do wonder though, would meeting my dreams change that? 

Further more, in getting my dreams met, I hope to meet the person I dreamt of meeting and that he would continue to help provide the support I need. No doubt that I would return the favour in some way or another. Then I would be treated as the woman I am, not for the child I look and sound like.

Having your dreams met, means that you're not alone and that there will always be someone who is willing to genuinely support you and be by your side equally on every occasion - the good times and well as the bad times.
