Do I really want to do what I think I want to do?

Do I really want to do what I think I want to do?

Suddenly I am asking myself this question because it is that time of my life again.
That time when everybody has to decide what do they really want to do in life, where do they really want to go n blah blah blah.

Why can't the honeymoon period last forever?
Why can't I continue to live my life carelessly?
Why do I have to announce to the world what is it that I would like to do for the rest of my life?

Why can't I love one thing today and love another thing tomorrow?
Why do I have to be passionate about some thing today and love it forever and establish myself in one place?
Why do i need to do something for a long time before I start making some real money doing that thing?

Why are we in an era where parents leave(and now also "expect") their kids to pursue their passions? What if the kids don't have any?
Why can't they give us as much money as we want and let us explore the world and the 1000000000 extraordinary things there are to do in this world?

Why haven't I found that one thing in life I would always want to hold on to?
How come clarity is an absolutely inexperienced phenomenon in my life?
Why do I change and so fast?

Should I really go ahead and pursue something else which I think I want to do now?
Do I really want to do what I think I want to do?

Yes I know all the gyan already. You can still bring it on...its nice to see my questions move some people enough to give them the energy to leave me some comments.

And the part 2 for my last post...its not coming...I'm bored.

All Thieves

Just came back from a theatre festival at the very beautiful Rangashankara theatre in Bangalore. The play I saw was called "All Thieves" (just in case you happen to know that Imaad and Heeba Shah were performing and also that who these two are then I must add that both of them have very bland facial expressions and great dialogue delivery! But are not even a tenth of how talented their parents are)

Coming back to the play, in the introduction bit, they said a beautiful line which I am sure will stay with me for a long time...
"Kuch churana hi hai to kisi ka dil churaiye, aur kabhi kisi ko apne khwab na churaane dijiye"
(If you have to steal something, steal someone’s heart; and never let anybody steal your dreams)

This line touched my heart because I know the importance of dreams. I am who I am because of my dreams.
I always dreamt of a life where I would be living independently, doing things I love to do. I did not know how that was going to happen but I dreamt of the happiness which would come from such a freedom. And today that happiness of my dreams is my reality.

My dreams for the future help me sail through any difficult phase in life. They make decisions for the present easier and give me the strength to hold on.

My dreams help other people know me better. They can be shared and believed in and have helped me form great bonds with some people.

Unlike other things, Dreams Stay. They can be forgotten about completely or simply put away, but they stay. And they become your support system whenever you need them to be one. I wish I am able to give them top priority in life :)
