Direct Me to My Dreams

We set goals and dreams in hopes to reach them one day. But life has a way of changing before you can even get to those goals and dreams. So where do we go when life has changed so drastically that you realize your single most important dream is slipping away. Now optimism seems more like dreaming and realism makes it seem impossible. And when other peoples’ dreams come into the picture, should we shelve our dreams for theirs? Is the business of reaching our dreams first come first serve? So many of my dreams have come true and yet so many have not. I have been given the taste of a few sweet dreams only for them to turn sour, and then where was I left… A manic depressive, 7th year college student, with possibly 2 years left in school, only one year left of NCAA eligibility and no playing time from a previous bad decision division II school in what I thought was the armpit of the world, but long for now. What do we do we do when every day you have been working toward this goal, and now the possibility of it happening is slim because there are now others’ best interests to consider… In this specific situation, my dream loses. So I guess all I have now are my dreams, and there I can dream of how it would have been and how now it’s just a dream to me.
