To you...the one who is hurt by dreams.
Hello, you accidentally met I hope you will open and read the letters we write to ourselves and to your past, present, and future selves.
I hope you'll open and read it. It might not be a very good thing. But I intended to write it for both of us.
Open and read, don't forget to share. We'll keep it a secret between us haha.
I would like to say that we just followed our own dreams as well. Maybe you're not very talented or not talented. But we did it with intention. You can blame it on what we wrote. Where do you need to improve? We are ready to listen and improve. (Smiling at you from a part of the universe)
From strangers I met
“What is your dream?” is something adults often ask me. When he first asked me I answered quickly and didn't even think about what the dream was. What does it mean? And what does it take to have a dream? But at that time I only thought Dreams are things I do that make me happy in the moment.
At that time I replied to him: “I want to be a teacher,” when I answered him. He asked me back: “Why do you want to be a teacher?” I answered innocently. "I want to teach." The reason isn't difficult to guess. Because at that time I was a student. I know only one profession: teacher. So my first dream in kindergarten was to be a teacher.
When I grow up This question still remains in life. He still asked me the same question. Even though he was not the same adult who had asked me. It made me think at the time that the adults were asking just one question or not. Why do you have to just ask? “What is your dream? What do you want to do when you grow up?” Even though I was asked again, I still gave him the same answer. “I want to be a teacher.”
It was an answer that I thought I had to answer because an adult asked. If he didn't answer, it would be too rude. So my dream in elementary school was still to be a teacher.
And you may encounter the same thing as us. No matter how old you are You will also ask questions from adults. But when you grow up a little The world has taught me one thing: “Never tell anyone what your dreams are.” Because if you tell anyone what your dreams are, It won't just be a dream. It's something you have to accomplish.
There is a passage from a book that says
'Unrequited love is still called love.
But why is an unfulfilled dream called a failure?'

So now when people ask me, “What is a dream?” I often say. “I don't know yet,” because I was afraid that the dream I had would be taken away. Sometimes I tell you dreams They tend to look down on it. I've had this happen so often that I understand that “Not everyone will like that we have dreams like that.” I'm afraid of having to abandon them.
So I said I didn't know to get him to stop asking.
But it seems like this question still hasn't gone away. But he changed from a dream to “What do you want to do after graduating?” when I was in high school. To which I don't know what to answer. Because if I answer as I have dreamed since childhood What will he say? What will he think of my dreams? And what if he doesn't like it? What must I do?
Therefore, this question is still answered with the word "I don't know yet" so that I have a shield to protect myself. and keep what you dream But when he often asks Sometimes it makes me wonder if I really didn't have this dream.
It's like the word "I don't know" is a habit that I have to say in order to end a conversation. If you ask everyone in this world that “Do you have a dream?” I answered. Everyone has a dream. Even though it may be a dream that many people don't think is a dream, whether "My dream is to sleep all day and all night,
Eat delicious food every meal, be rich, even I dream of being a person who can make other people smile no matter what they go through. Or it could be any profession in this world.”
But like the dream said will receive the answer that “You can't do this” just because I or you may have the appearance or ability at the time is not appropriate for the dream to tell.
and like when growing up You'll be glad they didn't ask you what your dream was. Or what role do you want to do when you grow up? Because you already have work to do. But there are still similar questions: “What will you do in the future from now on?” no matter how rich you are. Or at whatever age Elders are often worried. Worrying is like deciding what you want to do within yourself and controlling your life.
Therefore, regarding the dream that I experienced, it teaches me that Don't tell anyone what you dream of being. But let's secretly do it. Because whenever you tell him Your childhood dreams will fade away. And it will change into something that needs to be accomplished, not something that needs to be done in order to be happy.
If you have a responsibility to do Keep your dreams as something you do in your free time. I just hope you have the opportunity to do what you always wanted. Even if it may be for a fraction of a minute or a period of time. You don't have to be very dedicated. But don't throw it away.
Or if you are someone who is following your dreams. I want to tell you to walk slowly. Don't walk too quickly. Take one step at a time with hope. Even if it fails, it doesn't matter. Get up and keep walking. Because you still have us as traveling companions.
Please don't abandon your dreams, even if they are the dreams you just had.
May my childhood dreams and yours be eternal.
