The ideals we lived

Utopia. Unattainable. Everlasting. We grasp the concept of a life we can never live yet wildly push to reach its identical. Another time, another person, another you;

Reality is different. It's harsh, vivid and often not what you want. How do you escape this dream world you so idealistically desire and move forth with what's there in front of you? We all wished things were a bit different. Loved ones who should be here with us, times of stress replaced by peace and serenity, forgotten words best left unspoken... A second life that should have been.

We are at the very mercy of our minds who lead us to this guilt ridden state. We internally debate with the irrational decisions that lead us to where we are while kicking ourselves for being so foolish. Yet things sometimes do in fact turn out alright. Sure we're not where we wanted to be, who we wanted to be and with those who are meant to be there. We are however moving on with reality and despite everything else the one thing that reality does it that it forgives.

Our ideals are ideals for a reason. They were never meant to be more than a fictional life we created. Reality is different. It allows you to feel pain, to recognise a lesson learn, a mistake made and more often than not, gives you the chance to move on. We all feel like the world is crashing in on us at some point or  another but you've got to fight on. You've got to be brave to go on alone if it comes down to it or with those who were there for you during your time of need. Everyone wants their ideal life, but sometime either now or later; you just have to let go.
