"chasing a dream" has been my ym status for weeks now, and a dear friend made me this in response to my status:
a dream is not to be chased but to be embraced.. it is not running after… it is a head-on collision into the path of my destiny… waiting for me to mold into what i envision myself to be… chasing a dream is like sitting in a dark corner hugging myself in self-pity but knowing deep inside i’m as strong as i imagine i could ever be… chasing a dream is like chasing after you… scared to admit that i’m afraid that someday i would realize that you’re just a dream…..

then we began a discussion, and here is a chunk from the conversation:
….well isnt life like that, it’s encouraging someone who is born and is looking forward to the future but knowing at the end he’s just going to die?
napakamorbid naman nyan.. it’s not the destination but the journey.
a journey is only a journey if there’s a destination; otherwise it’s a senseless motion.
if you look at life like that, then you lose the experience of life. because you know that there’s nothing at the end but the end.
what’s the point of leaving if you don’t know where you’re going?
the journey is the experience. the journey is the destination itself. "i wanna go elsewhere, i dont know where… i wanna go anywhere… any place but here." THAT is the journey.
what’s the point of having an experience if in the end you’re going to be stuck in a place where maggots and sh*t will eat the living crap out of you?
the point of having the experience is the experience itself. sure i know i’d end as dust. but that knowledge does not necessarily stop me from living!
that is not what is stopping you to live but the time and energy that you put into things knowing that you have something but you’re certain that it’s going to end up somewhere you’re not once your journey is over.
my point is, you devote time and energy into it, despite the knowledge that it’s gonna end up in the dump once my journey is over, because that is the essence of living.
i HATE you!
