I like the idea of dreaming. The idea that we can have dreams and then take steps to make them happen feels very empowering to me.

What DOESN’T feel so empowering, is looking at something that IS impossible and believing myself to have the “power” to change that. I think I’ve spent a big chunk of my life in impossible situations. And, I’m starting to see that there is very little difference between NOT investing myself in ANYTHING and completely investing myself (heart and soul) in situations that are “no win” or will never be what I want them to be.

It’s a tricky thing to really see because I get the feeling of living and experiencing emotions, but I also have the safety in the impossibility to keep me free from REALLY investing myself. I cannot lose when winning is impossible.  And dreaming of my ideal outcome is JUST dreaming.

So, all done with that. Yep, I am ALL DONE. No more arguing with impossible. No more talking to ears that can’t hear my words or wasting my emotion or energy on people or situations that are like black holes in their limitless ability to take, and their complete inability to give.

It is more about me becoming comfortable with receiving than anything else. Comfortable with risking my heart for people who are giving me their heart and not just a place to give.

Dreaming is about extending what I have, not what I don’t have.

I’m going to stick to dreaming the possible dream.
