What seems obvious is often hard to see when you are a little too close.
A dream seems hopeless and impossible yet somehow it comes true.

I've been trying to figure out where I want to go from here at the end of another semester and I was writing down some of my accomplishments. It's rather funny many of them were outlandish, some sound impossible when summed up into a sentence, but given many pages I could explain them, mostly, sort of, maybe. Well this is real life it just doesn't have to make sense.

I feel I am in the desert between the good places I was and the mountain I will eventually get to somehow.

I got reminded of that by Neil Gaiman [link] He talked of the mountain in the distance, but the path is not obvious.

We all go through places like that. The empty wastes between good things. Sometimes we've gone through hell, but we didn't stop there. We keep plodding along as best we can.

Dream big though. I had a classmate who's big dream was to be a bus driver. I know we need bus drivers but wasn't there something more inside him. I don't know. He probably accomplished his dream. But that is pretty tough too. Because choosing your new dream can be so hard.

I wanted to work on the Space Shuttle and rockets and police cars. And I did. My contributions are small, but these are all things that take many thousands of people to do. And I was one of them.

I dream of Disney making Roused or one of my other stories into a movie. Will it happen, probably eventually. My dreams seem to work out over the long term. I don't know why.

Your dreams can come true too.
