Letting go of your dreams?

[Rooster893]

I've given up on being a famous musician. I still play music, but I'm not into it as much as I was a couple of years ago.

But...

Spoiler

Someday, I still want this to be around my waist.

My dream as a kid was to build this:

It took several years before I realized it was never gonna happen.

Love, pretty much. If I have to put myself through the tortures I've put myself through in order to attain something that I don't even know if it will pay off one single more time, I swear to God I will eat my cravat.

I hear ya on that. Plus, it gets old after a while.

OT: Going to Japan, a very small part of me is mad as hell for giving up on it and is still determined to go, but realistically it's not gonna happen. So, I will just admire it from a far.

Yay, I'm not the only one with cravat cravings. Forgot to mention cookie for reference

Yay, I hear cravats are tasty with ketchup and some salt.

I think it might be a political reference, but I'm not sure.

i didn't exactly give up my dream, i just have doubts about it ever happening. when i was younger i wanted to go out into space and go to other planets, explore etc, you get it, but from what i see how the space program is going and our technology goes, i have doubts this could be a realistic thing in my life time. and before anyone says it, no i can't be an astronaut either due to medical issues...

I pretty much gave up on all of my dreams the moment I realized that I have not the luck, patience or raw talent in any area to do anything with my life.

Why get your hopes up for a future that may (and probably will) never come? Such an endeavour can only end with disappointment, and your dreams will always be better than reality.

I wouldn't say that I gave up on my dreams so much as I never really bothered to have any dreams in the first place. And I'm not sure if that's better or worse.
