Dreams, and whatnot
I was watching last season’s finale of Glee, when Shuester goes to Broadway to audition for April’s play.
Anyway, I was thinking about his circumstances. He could either sing on Broadway (his dream!) or go back to Lima, Ohio, to lead the glee club.
At first I thought, “Well, duh. If I had a chance to make my dreams come true, I’d follow my dreams. Sorry, kiddos.”
But then I thought, “Is it really worth it?”
Because, well, is it?
Then I thought (all while Shue’s singing a song), “What would I willingly give up my dream for?”
A boy.
Or, a friend.
Or, my family.
And then I had a profound, yet a very obvious realization: The only thing really worth giving up your dreams for is RELATIONSHIP.
And I mean that. As someone who’s had so many dreams and ambitions in her 20-odd years, the only thing I know I could give up my dreams for would be someone I love.
I will live in Indiana for the ones I love. I will work dead-end jobs for the ones I love.
People, believe me, are more important that dreams.
