This life is like a marathon. Life is usually long so take it slow. But if I'm living in a marathon I can't take it slow. I have to keep running. But if I run now, what will happen once I get to the end? The end is a paradise. The ones we dream of. But the real world is different. It's not the place we were all promised. We need to run, there's no say in weather you do or not. If you shoot a flare you don't have no place of reach. It's a gamble, you have no certainties.

It's okay to stop.

There's no point to run without motive or reason. Think for a moment and breathe.

It's alright to have a dream.

If you feel happiness, you can stop. Think about the moment. Savour the breathes. Now we run without a destination. It's okay to have a dream. Your breathes are already in the paradise that awaits. Catch up to them and breathe them in a simple bliss.

We borrow dreams from people as though a debt. We learn and we teach what it takes, what must be done to be great. Your dreams are burdens. They stop you from creating your future. They catch and lock you in a false reality. Dreams don't have to be big. They can just be eating or getting a gift. Tell me what you dreamt last night. I bet it's something odd that you wouldn't say is your "dream" but thats what a dream is. Don't trap yourself in a hope that might end up letting you down. Let your future happen. Don't pressure anything to happen because no matter what happens,

you are you.
