Lost Dreams, Lost Reality

One more month till the end of 2014, time really flies.

One more month till a new year, yet I feel that I have learnt nothing useful.

One year of searching, only to find myself still lost with only one month left to go.

Dreams are important, aren't they? 

No wonder there are so many songs on dreams; I have a dream, I dream a dream, Dreaming, Dream a little dream, etc. They give you a goal in life. They give you a purpose in life. They give you something you can work towards to and look forward to, without having to wander aimlessly. 

Dare to dream of coloured rainbows,

And fine castles in the air.

And a sun that shines so brightly,

Making cloudy days seem rare!

When you aim to find a purpose,

Then your life becomes worthwhile.

You'll dazzles those about you,

When you show your own true style.

Our dreams are not for keeping,

Simply borrowed for a while;

To console us in adversity,

And teach us how to smile.

Dream again of coloured rainbows,

And bluebirds flying high.

You'll overcome the obstacles,

Once you decided to try.

The only way to make your dreams come true is to wake up. Or at the very least, try to wake up. It is only with dreams that then you can work towards your wanted reality. What if you don't have dreams to begin with, does that mean you will never find your reality? Does that mean that you will never experience a place where dreams come true, a place where dreams and reality meet?

Not as Scary... ...

6 days after a Scary Spooky Halloween!

Seemingly innocent pumpkins with an evil grin.

Trick or treat? The treat itself is a trick.

Someone looms round the corner, ready to scare you. 

Who is behind the mask and costume? A foe or a friend?

Everyday is like Halloween.

There are always people who scare  and scar you on a daily basis. They remain hidden in your life, acting as an obstacle in life. Each of them wears a mask, not just on Halloween, but daily. It is not just on Halloween that you see people hiding behind masks, painted faces and wigs. It could be a friend behind a creepy ghost costume. It could be a foe behind the friendly fairy. You can never know a person's true identity. Can they be trusted? Can I rely on them?

Sure, Halloween is long gone, but why are people still wearing masks?

Why can't they be honest about things that they feel and they have done? I prefer living in a world full of hurtful truths than one that is full of lies. You can hide your real self and portray an almost perfect you. That is something that everyone does in today's society. We hide behind our masks so much that the only truth of ourselves are buried deep within our conscience, so much so that it has nearly diminished from within.

The point is, they are not the only one behind the masks of identity.

We hide ourselves from others, we hide ourselves from reality. 

Dropping the mask is no easy task.

I too, am wearing a mask, a mask of fear and insecurity.
