Remember When You Had Hopes And Dreams?

sounds like weed saved you there. high school math teacher sounds like a perfect job on the surface. good pay, great benefits, summers off, and math. but then i think about my experiences working with "competent" adults on the most basic math-related things, and i'm pretty sure i would knock a kid out in my first week of math teaching.

 

I remember when I was a kid and people still had hopes and dreams for me. You're a big deal when you're a kid, but the cuteness wears off... You get ugly and then the entire world criticizes you for what you've become.

 

This thread is dark.

I'm 38. I'm not old, but I'm not exactly young either. Am I too old to still have hopes and dreams? I don't know. Maybe. But regardless, I still do. And it's having those hopes and dreams, and chasing them down, that gives my life purpose.

No matter how old I am, having hopes and dreams will keep me young. Or maybe I'm just dumb and naive...

 

people always have hopes and dreams for you. just when you're a kid, people hope and dream that you'll be successful, and when you're an adult they hope and dream that you'll do things for them.

 

LOL

 

Not just about having hopes and dreams but how much are you willing to sacrifice, how far are you willing to go to obtain those dreams. Assuming your dreams isn't to cause pain and suffering to others.

 

My dad is 70 years old and is going for a title in national championships for a specific dog training event and if he gets it, nobody else in the country would have ever achieved what he has with those dogs. It has been 4 years in the making.

I don't think you lose hopes and dreams just because you're old. Just like being young, you can't just expect to sit there and have it all on a plate. You gotta get out and work for it still.

His hope of one day climbing Mt Everest may be lost in the wind, but he's still determined to achieve what he can within his limitations. And I find they inspiring tbh.

 

I do find people who dream big and go for it inspiring as well. It takes a certain amount of courage. I'm sure many have big dreams but the fear of failure, fear of no longer being accepted, and of getting out of your comfort zone can prevent people from even trying. Or even worse, in denial that they exist.

 

My only dream is to ruin civilization through becoming a telepathic megamind. That's seriously my only dream. I have no hopes or dreams.

 

Right now I've hit hurdles in my ambitions for playing pool. After 2 years I don't think my 5 year plan is going to come true, maybe when I'm 40 though. Good thing about pool is, you get better with age table knowledge. So I'm not too concerned.

I came out firing and I've accomplished a lot for myself in the 2 years I've been playing competitively, but now I'm in a rut and it's not going so well. All that does though is push me harder.

 

in my heart the dreams are still the same

you know, there are things i don't expect to start on, at the age i am now, buuuuut,
i'm still creating and exploring, i really don't expect that to stop.

not while i'm living this life, and after it ends, whatever, if ever, i'll be doing so in whatever next lives there might be too.
and surprised happen too.

 

my last hope and dream is that i hope i die when im asleep and dreaming.

 

Well aren't you one big ray of sunshine.

The thing about hopes and dreams is you have to work your ass of to reach them. You get the satisfaction when you do. I'm reaching most of mine because I'm not lazy and I go for what I want instead of sitting around and whining about why shit isn't handed to me without putting forth any effort.
