As a kid, we are always asked by the elders about our dreams in life and each day we have different answer to this question but as we grow up, we realize that it is hard to achieve the dreams that we think we can achieve when we are an adult. Life is good at you when you are still young and naive, you don’t even know what struggles and hardship your parents experience just to give you a life where you can enjoy life as it is. We never really understand our elders not until we grow and have your own principles and responsibilities in life. Growing up, I have numerous dreams that I thought that I can be because I see different people achieving it and being happy with their profession but little did I know, just because I see someone achieve something in life does not mean that it is his dream or what he really want to be but it is more like what choices is offered to him and he just make a decision and take full responsibility. As I reach the age of 13, I became confused with what I want to be in life because I thought the dreams that I have when I was a kid will remain with me when I grow up but instead this became just an empty dream. When I was a kid they always tell me that when I study harder, I can achieve my dreams and I will be successful in life but now that I am an adult I always question myself about what is my dream, what I want to be for the rest of my life and the more that I ponder about this, I realize that I don’t have any dream as I am not passionate or even talented about anything and I hate myself for that as the people around me knows what they want but me on the other hand can’t even name anything about dreams. I study not because the course that I choose is my dream, but it is because of the sense of responsibility and the fear of being a failure. The older I get, the heavier the responsibility. Now that I am older and more mature, I learn that it is not the dream that makes me study and accomplish my schoolwork anymore, but it is the responsibility of the decisions that I made and maturing means realizing that not having dream is normal and it is not something that we should loath ourselves for. Learning about ourselves and our dreams does not have any due date, we don’t have to be pressured because someone that we know already have a clear goal or vision about his future, we have to know that we are different from each other and always remember that you are not the only one experiencing this, there are a lot of individual that is still figuring out what they want and while they are figuring it out they take the responsibility that they have now very seriously as it is the only thing that they have for now. Never compare yourself to anyone and keep on moving forward until you figure out what is the dream that you will be passionate and not just a plain responsibility. Having a dream is a precious thing that an individual wants to cherish, some even accomplish their dreams and live life the way they want and on the other hand, an individual is being thorn in choosing his dream or his responsibility as a member of their family. A lot of individuals forget about their dreams and face their responsibility with utmost determination, and this does not mean that he is a failure for not pursuing his dream, it is one of the admirable things that a person can do. Not everything in life is about dreaming but it is more like the sense of responsibility of living your life with the alternative choices that was given to you.
