Dreams

I originally planned for this to be about something different but was inspired by a video and a song. I actually have no idea what is gonna be said during this as I usually think of things to write before I crash and burn at night but like I said this just came up.

This one is about dreams. Not the dreams you have when your sleeping or when your in class tuning your teacher out during some boring election, but your life dreams, goals and ambitions. What are yours? Do you have any? Just take a minute to think about what they might be.

If I had to guess i would hope EVERYONE had dreams even if it consists of the simplest things ever. When you really think about it, what would life be without dreams? My guess is just an aimless wander in no direction at all. The dreams you have make you the person you are. They're what make you get up and do the things you do.

My first inspiration to write this blog came about 2 weeks ago. I dont know if any of you have heard of someone named Ben Breedlove but its a story worth finding on youtube. He was in high school and soon to be in college. All of his friends and family adored him because he always had a smile on his face, treated people with respect and people loved to listen to him because, due to certain circumstances, he was matured beyond his years and had the wisdom most will never have. He started a youtube channel because his life dream was to go into media and be a broadcaster. Sadly, these dreams never came true. Ben pasted away on December 25, 2011. Even though Ben was diagnosed with a heart condition when he was a young boy he still had dreams. Even though life pushed him down he still got up everyday and new that life wasn't worth living without having a reason to live.

The song "Even if it breaks your heart" by Will Hoge/Eli Young Band also inspired me to post this. Its an amazing video that has a one-liner that I love. "Keep on dreaming even if it breaks your heart." That one line says what took me a whole blog to do. To me this means that even if it take you forever or something delays you, you should still continue to chase your dreams. No matter what.

The point-

Even when life kicks you down to the lowest of lows you'll always have your dreams. In my opinion this alone should be what you need to get back up and kick-start your life back in the direction you want it going. They don't have to be some big elaborate plan to take over the world, even the simplest of dreams will do. Well i guess thats enough rambling for one sitting. Until next time, keep on dreamin' even if it breaks your heart. RIP Ben Breedlove
