Higher Dreams
İdil EROĞLU
Life is not a rose-coloured romantic comedy movie embroidered with musical numbers and puppies . An ordinary person - who requires juggling relationships , jobs , family life , and many more - has its unexpected turns . Sometimes things get a little bit out of control and we need something to hold onto . That is why we dream - to see a light in our darkest times . Our imaginary world shields us from all the ugliness , distress , and cruelty that we are exposed to in the real world .
Dreams do not always have to be the children of depression and despair . We can also dream about our present or future life to find joy and encouragement . Like little children imagining their teenage years or a young couple wishing to grow old together , dreams give us hope and determination for the coming day . Every accomplishment , every happily-ever-after was nothing but a mere dream at the time .
Dreaming is a human necessity and can be therapeutic as long as we do not weaken our ties with reality . Dream higher and dream bolder !
