Chasing The Dream


What is a dream? What is a fantasy?



Let's dig in the semantics of these words. 



A dream is defined as a strongly desired goal, purpose or an idea that fully satisfies a wish. An "idea" notable for its beauty, excellence and enjoyable quality.


An IDEA.


A fantasy is the power or process of creating especially unrealistic or improbable mental images in response to psychological need.


What if I'm only after the chase?


Once I have what I'm chasing after, what will I chase next? What if there's none after? 


Once I take the plunge and settle down, then my fantasy will become a reality and I don't like realities. Reality is so far from fantasy. 


This is how I see marriage and family. It's something that I need to look forward to but I don't really intend to actually execute it. It's like looking at a fantasy and enjoying how I'm looking at it. I want to bask in the thrill of chasing after the dream. If I'll have that fantasy, then it will no longer be my fantasy. It will become my reality and reality is so different from fantasy. I want it to remain a fantasy.


What if I just need something to dangle right in front of my face so I can chase after it because it's the journey I'm really after. Not the ending. 


I think I got everything that I need but I want to just keep chasing the dream.


Now, who would want to chase that dream with me? I can chase after that ideal someone too.
