Crazy Dreams

14 March, 2006 14:55

Part of life is sometimes becoming or developing to the dreams of others. Growing up in this matter means conforming to the expectations of those around you. Often times it is just an accepted understanding that you must meet the accomplishments of others around you, to strive to grow bigger, and profit from these. In turn, this often gives you a feeling of satisfaction, and other times gives you a feeling of status.

When you are born and raised, you are often taught values from your parents or social group. Most of the time, these values truly help build a structure of goals and punctuality, a persona. These values are usually permanent and follow you both on and off the path of your life and relationships.

For example, take a family with a medical profession. Often times the children are urged to take the resources available to them, and enter into a profession of the same caliber that provided the previous generation success. Although the child's technical profession may vary, such as a son of a father in pediatrics might differ from the profession of the son in general medicine, the scope of the son's life is often set by the principles of his upbringing. The son knows how to succeed in life, he branched out with a personal interest of his own, but he is bound by a scope in which his choices of a career is not necessarily boundless, but rather rounded.

For another example, take for instance an artist and her daughter. Often times growing up with values such as appreciation for your surroundings allows you to branch out into goals of enrichment, but are still adhered to there scope of understanding.

"You're tired of dreaming someone else's dreams
When they really don't include you any longer"

I wonder what I would think about, if I didn't think of what others thought about myself. What would I do, what would I strive for, and what other dreams would I have of my own? The biggest question I have with this, how would I express myself?

"So shut the suitcase, kiss the year goodbye
Don't let nobody stop you at the doorway
And close the shutters on this empty room
Where these crazy dreams come crawling to devour you"
