The only way to accomplish a dream is to work for it. And you can't work for it if the only effort you put in is coming up with excuses as to why you can't pursue it.
When is it time to unfollow your dreams?

5 Scenes from My Favourite Movies that Make No Sense
But what about those movies that are actually good, the ones that are beloved, cult classics, even critically acclaimed - is it possible for a movie to be great if it has scenes that make no sense?
It’s Been A While
The last time I posted was on the tenth of March. Just before the whole world turned upside down. First with an unprecedented pandemic, and then with the murder of George Floyd and the re-emergence of the Black Lives Matter movement.
Part 9: An Attempt
The week was up, and still the boy didn't return. Worry became the girl's constant state. Where was he? Why hadn't he returned? Was he truly angry with her? Or was something else keeping him away? Well, nothing had kept him away before. So that last worry was quickly debunked. No, there could only be … Continue reading Part 9: An Attempt
Part 7: Regret was a Tangible Thing
The boy didn't return the next day. Nor the day after that. The girl woke up every morning, hoping he'd change his mind and would return sooner than a week. But every morning, she was disappointed.

Part 6: A Dream Realised

As though she hadn't asked the dragon if it could fly her far away before. Besides, that wasn't the … Continue reading Part 5: A Half-Formed Thing

Lately, I've been entertaining the notion that perhaps not everybody's dreams are meant to come true. Perhaps wanting it more than anything … Continue reading An Interruption
Part 3: And So They Met
Neither the girl, nor the boy could quite believe what they were seeing. The former thought she must still be dreaming, and that if she even dared to blink, she'd awake in her bed, to the same sounds she was accustomed to hearing. The latter was trying to understand the situation he was currently in, … Continue reading Part 3: And So They Met
Part 2: The Boy
In that same far away land, long ago, there lived a boy with his mother. His father had died many moons before but left his mother and him a sum of money large enough to keep them comfortable. And, with the money his mother made from her art pieces beloved all over the village, the … Continue reading Part 2: The Boy
