This is so beautiful and thought-provoking! I’m stuck on the question, ‘Where do dead dreams go?’

Now you’ve given me something to think about.

I guess those dreams die with the dreamers and just don't go anywhere in particular...

Thank you and let me know what your mind says about the question.😊

I loved every bit of this read! Thank you so much for putting this together. I needed this in so many ways. I admire how reflective it is, how consoling it is, how tough it sounds and yet how kind it is. Thank you

I don't know. It's two ways for me. I know I'm crazy and sometimes, I almost want to think that I wish I am not, but I can't even start the thought. I'm a dreamer, I think it something that will never leave me — I feel like dreams are what continuously holds my mind in a frame.

In my experience, dreams are both flying carpet and a load on one's shoulder.

I love this writing! Really carried one to a place.

Thank you! I think we can't help who we are. And I like what you said dreams are both a flying carpet and a load on ones shoulders. Tough!

I was laughing before this and it just sobered me up.

I feel we or rather I personally kill some of my dreams daily because I feel I am past the point of achieving them or ask myself “was I crazy to dream such big dreams in the first place?” (I hope so, I hope to be crazier and dream more).

But seriously, where do dead dreams go?

It's great to have dreams but more fulfilling to execute them. You are never too old to do anything. Keep dreaming and may they all come true!✨
