Dreams vs Reality

Chapter 1 Dreams are suspenseful, they trick people into believing that fate will make them true , that it can turn to reality. A dream remains one until it becomes a thought , from a thought it becomes a plan and then becomes reality that matures slowly. Have you ever wondered why you take time building something but it crashes in a second. It's not because the devil is tailing you , bad luck following you , your lucky stars aren't favouring you or your village people are using witchcraft on you. Whatever you believe in but the truth is that it's just the clock of time . You spent years chasing a dream and reality decided to remind you that dreams are suspenseful. Reality is different, it's more real , more feelings, undeniable, rude and faster , more hurtful and the best one of them all that people don't share is that it's a fact and facts don't change they improve. Facts change people and something about change is that it can be good or bad , it can build or destroy and it deceive or unveil secrets. People often think that facts changed but it hurts deeper than a dagger stirring your heart, better than that somber heartbreak on New year's eve and more depressing than attending a grandma's funeral who you never knew existed and everyone is talking about how amazing she was . When you realize that facts don't change but it has changed you and you didn't have time to realize that you have changed. A fact repeated becomes stronger but a lie repeated a dozen time becomes an illusion. Life and reality is different but it works hand on hand with each other . You can have a life but you don't acknowledge your reality. Life is like poison , If you consume it unknowingly it kills you slowly, you don't panic , each pain you feel is normal , it is just not serious until you feel that you are near your last breath. But when you take it knowingly it kills you faster , you panic , you remember all those happy memories sorrow devoured while your breath was normal, each pain you feel burns , It's devours your soul out of your flesh , the pain you felt vanish after a while, then a glimpse of pleasure is felt and you feel internal rest one you never felt , one mixed with sorrow , pain , joy , laughter and ultimate rest . Nobody died and woke up and explained what happens after you face death in the eye . I never felt that pain of death but I know that with pain comes pleasure maybe the pleasure that comes afterwards is surely undescribable. It's just an example you should treat like the past you forget it and take the lesson it offers . If you know so much about life it conspire against you and draws death closer to you, it comes faster and stronger. But if you know less about it , it still conspire against you but slower and weaker because death is something each human must make peace with . Knowledge for one moment is better than stupidity that last for life to get the same results. Hypothetical life is no fantasy, it is a fight against a force bigger than what we could ever be . Something about the fight with life is that no one survive no matter how humble you are , how smart or intelligent you think you are , have been proven you are or have been told ,how rude you are or how many humanitarian awards you won . In life sometimes keeping quiet is the greatest power in the world but sometimes raising your voice is the greatest power . Defeat sometimes means winning and sometimes winning means being defeated. Power doesn't mean ruling and being seen, it simply means being able to control the strings or the puppeteer . Trust me , the puppeteer dies faster but the mastermind stays not because the puppeteer is stupid , it's all because of his understanding of power. You must have heard the saying that says too much of everything is bad . It's true too much of sugar is bad and too much salt is bad , that saying also applies in power , too much power make you believe that you an equal to god or life and life has its way of showing people who is greater . Power needs a humble person not a genius to a achieve . The king may be the powerful but everyone knows that the queen controls his decision without or with words .There must be a reason why certain things are the way there are , Why humanity is an act but not an action. Confusing right how can something be an act but not an action ask yourself when I am showing humanity do I act politely or do I take the need of deciding that I want to show action by helping without myself gaining . Ask yourself can I be selfless or have I made humanity an act not an action . Action is simply movement we all know that but have we asked ourself what is an act without getting help from Google , Chat GPI and all Artificial intelligence assistant. You might be trying to figure out what I said or you may be asking yourself " what is this girl trying to say" or maybe I am a man , women or boy but that doesn't matter I too forget my gender . Nobody ask anymore , I wonder why because while they asked I remember my gender better. Something about people is that they don't care about others . They talk about other people because no one listens when they talk about themselves. But I am different from other people when others talk about me I feel like sitting at the sit forward in their life .I don't hate free publicity by the way people will always talk about whether you do good or bad and those who want faults in you will surely find one . Life is more like a game , everyone knows the possibly outcomes win , lose or a tie but they are those who say they don't do ties but we know that one of them is going to have a different outcome but there are things we don't know and those keep us interested in the game . It's because people want to know so badly that their end up wasting time their could have used to read that last page of a book or wash the car etc. It's doesn't matter if you find out who won you already knew the outcomes but don't try to devour information bigger than you and your capabilities. You might be a woman , hardworking, lazy or a man , strong or just a learner but we have all met the comparison between you and your brother, sister , friend or cousin and etc if you didn't face it verbal , the eyesight might have been what you got or lucky you who never got the comparison . When we met with comparison the majority of us tried to show that we are better than the other person but we didn't check if we forgot what we want . I challenge you take a week or maybe not even a week do it now. Get a pen and paper write at least fifteen things you know about yourself don't include your career , school , dreams , hopes . Write your likes and dislike that your mom , friends or anyone didn't influenced , don't write the things you know like because your competition influenced you include your favorite artist and why is it that this specific person is you favorite artist. In my mind you won't write more than fourteen and it's not because you are stupid or anything it's because you never asked yourself all this ten questions but congratulations to those you wrote more than fifteen facts about themselves. Remember to paste the paper somewhere you can see everyday and make time to read it everyday in the morning because that's your true self in a paper . The questions 1 Who am I without my parents and friends? 2. What define me the most without assistance for anyone? 3 .What do I want personally with my life? 4. Is this what I would want to do for the rest of my life? if not what do I want? 6. Is a break away from family members necessary? 7. What type of addition do I want to be in the world? 8.What makes me feel whole? 9. Do I realize that through my mistakes, I learn, I grow , I become better and stronger? 10. why am I always chasing perfection ? is it necessary? Sometimes I feel like I was supposed to wish that you realized that number five is missing and number five says stop overthinking things that you end up missing the beauty of life , sometimes allow yourself to make mistakes so you can learn and move on. Sometimes life feels like it is at the peak of destruction because of a breakup, misunderstanding or a mistake and you feel like death or disappearing is the better option but what you don't know is that your life is not an option or a choice it's special through you can the world change . Change doesn't have to be big it just has to be felt . While you are in that mix of emotions ask yourself " why does the wind seem to change direction time to time and when I wish it could come for the north ,it comes from the east" . Think about that for a long time , maybe your brain might say it's because it is uncontrollable but why do you cry over the things you can't control in your life but don't cry over the wind changing direction when you want it to be a certain direction. Life is different you might say but in life you must remember to cry over things you can still control not what you can't control or could've have controlled. Life is always changing it takes things from you that are useless trust the process life is giving you because it knows what you want but it also knows that you don't need that . Then it takes away what you want but don't need and it gives you your needs . Your best friend might be gone but trust that it is for a good reason and one day you will be thankful. You might feel that the world wants you to escape to dream land but dream land doesn't help you face your fears now. What is better is not letting your current need for comfort drive you away from reality. Dreams are like alcohol and cigarettes you feel better during the period of intoxication but when somberness strike back at you , nothing has changed, life is almost the same but the difference between before you were intoxicated and now is that your problems have increased, maybe you had a one night stand and you now have HIV and AIDS , STDs or you have spent money in your savings account but what you have done has added problem to your already filled with problems mind . You thought you were improving your life through alcohol or you just wanted a moment to feel comfort, feel different and better but what you have done has given you destruction . You can't face pain , you want to feel better though material things and the truth is that material things don't satisfy you and the void in you.
