Dreamer

Sometimes I wish I didn't have such a futuristic mind. A lot of times, my dreams and ideas set my heart on fire. I become optimistic about the future and restless with the present. And then I delve into making that dream a reality.

But I've learned that the most painful thing about churning dreams is missing the precious moments in life. Time spent with family and friends. Time relaxing and enjoying the little things. Precious time.

Then when I focus on the precious moments, like the last three days, I feel as though I've cheated myself of dream building time.

Dreaming is exhausting.

Once, I asked God to make me normal, to stop constant ideas from popping into my mind. To stop me from striving and reaching. Then I realized that I was asking God to stop me from being me.

So at times when I become frustrated about balancing my dreams and my reality, I just thank God for being me, and pray that He will help me to become a better me.
