Route 66

People say it’s harmful to dream big. I say it’s not. Dreaming big takes courage. Dreaming big will get you somewhere. Dreaming big means motivation.

Trust me, I dream insanely big. So much so, My parents are worried that if I were to encounter a failure somewhere in the near future, I might just hit rock bottom. To me, it’s motivation. I feel a sense of accomplishment. Everyday I come across someone who tells me, he or she wants to do great things, or that they want to reach great heights in career, all these challenged me to pursue further in life.

I sacrificed alot in order to get to where I am today. I gave in almost all that I dreamt of when I was completing my foundation in college. It’s true, I was upset to have to throw them all away but in return I was given the opportunity to explore a side of myself that I’ve never seen. This itself made up for everything that I’ve lost in that timeline.

I’m not saying I’m satisfied but I’m saying that every little thing that comes along your way will make a huge difference in the way you see your future self. Opportunities that I’ve never dreamt of seeing, yes, I am seeing it now. Maybe this is how it’s suppose to be. I’m ambitious, to the extend that I can no longer see reality. And here, reality decided to hit me hard to bring me back to the floor. However, from this lesson, I’ve managed to open this closed eyes and see great things waiting for me along this path. I’m ready to walk this journey.

Open your damn eyes. I did. Now, I see remarkable things.

Rachel.
