Some people will tell you not to dream, to set reachable goals and strive for things you can do. Don't listen, do what you want, break it down and make every step a step toward your dreams. I have heard it said that dreams aren't dreams if they are reachable. I disagree, I think reaching your dreams is a wonderful thing, and I think when you get there you should give yourself a pat on the back and take a little break and start dreaming again.
What I DON'T quite understand is when dreams seem to be things I have no real desire to do. In the end I just want to help my friends. Yes just that, and no it is no more selfish than anything else. I really just want to be there for all of them, I want to be able to offer shelter and comfort, and someone to talk to when they are down. I want to give 'em a good kick in the rump when they are wallowing and hold them when they hurt. In the end that is the only thing I have ever really had the motive to do through and through. I am going to be a psych major now, maybe that will help. I don't know though, I am told you are not supposed to be friends with your patients or let your friends be patients, but I feel like we are all each others therapists in the end, to the best of our ability.
Is it worth it? Still don't know, there are a lot of things I don't know, but maybe, for once, I should follow my own advice and make every step a step toward that goal.

Dreams are beautiful. Even the dark one have a twisted lovliness to them. They should be respected. I think someone who has no dreams, only "goals" is very sad. Or has lost the meaning of a dream.
As for friends and paitients... I suppose I have far too much to say to that. But then, we have spoken of this before.
