Dreams of the Unattainable Kind



Invigoration seems to behold the ticket to success, but also the locked door to rejection.  My mind is warped from watching too many video’s about life in general and I have come to the solid conclusion, for me, that an unattainable dream is the best route.  You may not get there, but you can certainly try and do your best to achieve that certain goal.  It’s a shame to see some leave the unwelcomed door and embrace the fact that they were not good enough to walk through it; contrary to what others tell them.  This is the largest dream in America, but also, for most it seems, the most unattainable one.  A hero for hire would probably have one good run, but then after all of their amazing effort would end up in the most menial job that could be allotted to them.  Then their place in the spotlight is over before the next big fad rolls in and takes over.

 
In these modern times we reach for certain things that are attainable.  A cashier at gas station, a worker for a grocery store, a barista at the local Starbucks; it is those jobs that most rush to get before others take them.  A menial job, at best, is what gets us from one pay check to another and all that we have to look forward to.  A job of immense wealth will not just fall into your lap, most that have those high paying jobs have some form of formal education; a tech school, for example, can get you into an industry of your choosing, but it will not guarantee that you would ever surpass your boss or co-workers on the skill level.

 
In life in general, as well as in music, the most unattainable dream would be to become famous for your work, not your actions.  Unfortunately, to most, your actions show who you are and the way you think.  It may contradict that company’s policies or enhance it.  It would depend completely on you and your skill set level.  It’s amazing what kids are learning in school’s these days and the advancement of technology.  Soon enough no one will be able to hide anything.  All of your faults and strengths would be on display for all the world to see.  As amazing as it is, it is also scary to know that at the drop of a hat, everyone on earth will be able to know everything about you.

 
Every invigorating conversation and every unknown element will be soon known to all mankind.  The wetlands, behind my school, are being disregarded to make way for a new connector to the highway around town.  So for those who think that this disrupting of the environment would be a good thing to save twenty minutes of driving, we are in disagreement.  I’m not a purest or an activist, but I understand that destroying an ecosystem can in no way be healthy for the rest of our environment.  Cars roll through this town constantly, even late in the night and early morning.  I understand that everyone is always in a hurry for something.  I come from The South, and everything in the country is slower than anywhere else in the world, but it wouldn’t hurt to take your time to avoid the accidents that rushing prove to be fatal at times.  Save, for the kids that rush to get to school, I understand the need to slow down and take your time every once in a while.  Wow, who knew I had all that in me?  Thank you for reading what I have rambled about for the last ten minutes.
