A letter to my dreams

Dear dreams, 

It was indeed a pleasure to meet you all last night. You knocked on my door and startled me with such promise and hope that I realized, it's time. It's time that you enter into my real world.

I know, you must have heard it from me, many times, that it's one thing to dream and another to know which one to follow. Which ones are just a fling and which one is pure passion? Which are the ones worth the sweat and blood and which ones are just to lighten the heart? But you do realize that you all are so many that it will take me more than a lifetime to choose a few for I have limited time and energy. 

Some of you have stood by me for years, some I got to know only recently but they have begun to make a lot of sense. Some gave me high hopes by rallying with my desire to be acknowledged but fizzled in the long run leaving me stranded. Some promised to make me over into a new person only to make me belittle the person I already was. Some of you patiently waited while I went in all directions only to come back home.

It has been a long walk with you all. But now, after years of trepidation and procrastination, I am ready. Ready to follow you wholeheartedly. Not as a part-time or leisure-time or 'when I'll get time' activity but as a part of my being. 

Good luck guys!

P.S.: Thank you for always being with me. Thank you for keeping me alive.
