Being able to let go of certain dreams can actually be liberating, like losing a hundred pounds of dead weight.

I have come to accept that I will never be as cool as a 90s riot grrrl band
@SW-User Don't know about that, but some of us still think you're a rockstar 🌺

@SW-User I think you are very cool in a 90s kind of rebellious way.. when you're not hating on my dna I mean.

My grandmother said something similar a number of years back when it was all soul crushing struggle. Nobody offered help, but lots of people told me I should give up . Consequently, I’m achieving the thing they implied I wouldn’t accomplish.
I think.. when you have a dream it’s important to be real with yourself about the skills and hardship that will come with pursuing it. Over and over you’ll have to ask yourself if it’s worth the hardship and if you genuinely have the skill set necessary. Sometimes it’s not Worth all the suffering or you find out that the skills aren’t coming together like you thought they would and that’s OK. Sometimes it’s OK to reevaluate what you want out of life and wanting less pain is understandable.

Are you going to be in a That Chapter video? Where in the desert did you "lose" this dead weight?

@TheFlippantSide I'll probably end up in the asylum, with the other ones.
@SnailTeeth I'll visit you once a month and bring you all of your favorite snacks. 😽

@TheFlippantSide Then I shall miss you the other 27-30 days. You better not be visiting your other asylum boyfriends during that time, either. 😽

Yes.. letting go if some dreams is essential to feeling contented with who you are and where you've ended up in life.

Can confirm. I can actually attest to this.
@MethDozer it's almost as much of a relief as vomiting, after eating that one thing that didn't agree with your stomach. 😐

@TheFlippantSide good analogy.

There's a difference between letting some dreams go and having those dreams crushed or taken from you.
