Dreams have their own stubbornness. You may push them aside, calling them childish or impractical. You may bury them under bills, routines, responsibilities. Yet, they return. In your quietest nights. In your dullest mornings. They wait like seeds in dry soil, patient, unhurried. Sometimes all they need is a single drop of courage. And suddenly, they sprout again. People often say, “I am too old now.” But dreams do not keep count of years. They only ask: will you give them a chance? If they still knock at your heart, they are not dead. They are simply waiting. And perhaps, this time, you are ready to meet them.
