Is It Worth It To Dream?

I dream a lot. Sometimes to the point where I feel like I don’t ever get sleep anymore because I’m always imaging how things could be or will be in the future and it keeps me up at night.

The dreaming I’m talking about is more of the day variety that focuses on my goals and future adventures. Not the dreams that you have during a good nights sleep. The more I imagine how I want things to be now and later encourages me to be motivated to pursue my dreams, but it also makes me feel down.

Now, don’t get me wrong I love my life and everyone in it, but there is always something more that I want. When I say that to my partner he always asks me what I want. That is the thing, I don’t know. I feel like sometimes my life is lacking something, without even knowing what that something is.I like to believe nearly everyone on this planet would have had this feeling at one point or another, so I know I shouldn’t feel down but why do I?

Having goals and dreams shouldn’t weigh you down it should motivate and inspire you to reach higher and not to settle for less. But when you feel like you have been reaching for a while and nothing seems different, how do you stop that disappointment from taking over and giving up.

This is where the typical mum or dad speech comes in.

There is no answer that would fit everyone’s situation but no ones dreams are to small and everyone has to start somewhere. It is better to say you worked your absolute hardest to get to where you want to be than to say you never tried (see I told you there was a mum and dad speech coming on). If you are worried about failure, don’t be. That famous saying ‘No Regrets’ is famous for a reason.

Why am I writing this? Good question. I love all the glamorous things in life like fashion and beauty but this blog is about being nosey into my life and I want to share every aspect of that. Not just the pretty things.
