So what do you do if you think a really good friend is rapidly killing the best part of themselves?

Maybe I'm idealistic, but choosing to settle for mediocrity and not to fight for your dreams is a very sad story.

Some of that crossed my mind, but it still depresses the hell out of me when I see someone not going for a dream. I told my mother that this is because most of the time, I have my head in the clouds anyway (which is why it's so easy to sneak up behind me and scare the shit out of me) so I can't understand why people don't want to live their dreams.

Much more logical and earthbound minds have told me that living your dreams isn't very practical, especially in the money-driven society we live in now. But the way I see it is that people want money for what? So it can buy things that bring them happiness. So why not skip a step and begin by doing what you love? So what if it doesn't pay well - at least there's happiness. I know there are several different ways to view the world as a place to live, thrive, and survive, but I happen to be of the belief that living your dream is what life is all about. When someone does not take every step within their power to do so, I start to wonder - are dreams just something for the very rich or very lucky or should every person continually search for themselves?

I'm very existential tonight.

i think that it extends far beyond money

i think that it is based in security

i think that a person is willing to sacrifice their dream for a safety net

sad? maybe... reliable? who cares..

bottom line is i think it is thr truth

i know that personally i would be willingly to sacrifice all that i have worked for, all that i dream about, to be back with my ex... but then again, what would my ex see in me if i wasnt who i strove to be

you are right, money buys nothing

i think most people are afraud to be alone
