Dear miaim:

“I am in my late twenties and have been interested in art all my life… I have always been so sure of what I want to do and now that I am ‘living the dream’ I have started to second guess it”-

– I think that the problem is that living the dream is hardly ever as dreamy as when dreaming the dream. There is always a lack when one actualizes a dream: it just doesn’t feel as magnificent to live a dream as it is to as imagine and anticipate a dream.

It makes me think of the fairytale/ dream stories that end with “and they lived happily ever after”. It is a good thing that these old-fashioned fairytale books run out of paper at that point, otherwise there would be lots of boredom and blahs in papers to follow.
