Sometimes, dreaming is already something.


There’s an emptiness inside me, mixed with hope and uncertainty.

As if something is moving inside me, but the uncertainty never goes anywhere

I have so many dreams in my head, actually.

Where I’ll be, who I’ll become, what kind of life I’ll build and my future...

I want to develop my hobbies, get to know myself, and create something.

I really do.

But then something happens.

My mood drops and somehow, somewhere along the way, I lose momentum.

I freeze.

And I end up in that same old emptiness again


There are two voices inside me, always pulling at each other.

One says, “You’ve got potential, even the people who love you see it.”

And the other quietly asks, “But what if you fail?”


Sometimes, feeling supported is beautiful.

It can be comforting, especially when it comes from the people you love.

But sometimes... it feels a little heavy.

Because people believe in me and I want to give them something even more beautiful than they imagined.

Something brighter, more impressive, more perfect...

But maybe that’s exactly why everything keeps growing bigger in my mind.

And

the more it grows in my head,

the smaller I feel.


Today, I just wanted to rest.

Just pause. Breathe.

And I thought:

Maybe on some days, dreaming is already something.

Maybe, right now, I just need to give myself permission.

Maybe not knowing yet doesn’t mean I’ll never know.


I have a dream, but I’m not sure what to do yet.

Yes, I have dreams, but I'm lost..

And maybe, just admitting that honestly...

is a step in itself.


What do you do when you believe in your potential, but can’t seem to move forward?
