Dreams & Decisions
It’s no one's fault, Life is just not meant to be easy
I have a Dream and so does most of us. I always wished; May everyone’s dreams come true. But soon enough I realized;
Life is not a genie to grant me my wish.
When I was a child, my parents wanted me to be an Engineer. My parents were happy as I was the best in class. Everything was going smoothly until I grew up and had a dream of my own.
“I want to be a writer,” I said, to my Father
Father insisted saying “You’ll be a very good engineer”.
“But I’ll be a better writer” I replied.
Silence.
I loved my parents. I never wanted to hurt them. A happy life; That’s what my parents always wanted for me. But now, they mostly seem stressed out seeing me struggling to be a writer. All I want to say to them is;
“I am happy. It was not an easy decision but I’ll never regret it. I’ll do my best.”
I had the most beautiful girlfriend. And my girlfriend had the most beautiful dream. She wanted to marry me and lead a happy life together forever.
“Seems like a Fairy-Tale story” I commented about her dream
“Oh! That’s what I’ll make your life baby, a beautiful Fairy-Tale. Let’s marry” She said
“Yes, yes we will,” I said laughing.
“Don’t laugh, I’m not joking. Let’s marry. Let’s marry as soon as possible” She said, holding my hand.
I looked at her and said “Please stop it. I don’t want to talk about it.”
“You never want to talk about it! Trust me it’ll be fine” She said.
“Why can’t you understand me? I have to settle down first. I can’t have a family if I am not eligible to provide for my family” I replied angrily.
“We’ll work it out, baby. I can’t wait anymore. My parents want me to get married this year. I have been holding them up for 3 years now, I can’t any longer” She said Crying.
Looking away from her, I released her hand and said; “Maybe you should listen to your parents.”
Listening to that she stopped crying. She turned me towards her and looking into my eyes, She said “Why are you like this? Why are you such a coward?”
“Yaa, maybe I am a Coward, but you are the one day-dreaming about fairy-tales. Trust me, life doesn’t work that way. And I don’t want to be the one ruining your dream” I tried to explain.
“Yes, you are right. I am day-dreaming. Maybe it’s time for me to wake up” Saying that, she left.
She just left and never came back.
I just want to say her that;
“I am not happy, but it’s good to see at least you are happy now. It was not an easy decision for me and I don’t regret it. I hope you the best.”
Big Dreams, Bigger Decisions. Life is Hard, Life’s a Bit*h.

And you know what if nothing goes wrong that's not life, you are not living, just breathing. So find something good in every situation and keep moving, keep living. Learn, Love, Live.
