What I want to Be

You see things; and you say, "Why?"
But I dream things that never were; and I say, "Why not?"
--George Bernard Shaw

I used to dream. There are things I dream of being, things I strive to be. Things i've lose sight of becoming. Dreams that I forgot to hold fast to and they slip through my fingers. I wanted to be as uncompromising as Cyrano de Bergerac. The man who taught me to be myself in the face of my harshest critics. I wanted to be like Lloyd Dobler. Who again was only himself but still able to get the girl. The girl no one ever thought he'd end up with. I dreampt of being in the NBA. The childlike innocence I once approached basketball with is lost to me. But I still play because I still love it. I once dreampt of big things when I was little. Growing up people have tried to belittle those dreams. They almost succeeded. Then through the movies and books and music that has graced my ears and eyes I learnt something. I learnt something about myself. And they say that TV turns your brain to mush.



I still dream. I dream to one day look back and say that I lived how I wanted to live. I dream that one day Ill get the girl. I am loves biggest cynic, but in my hypocrisy want to believe in it. I am the biggest antagonist to both marriage and all that is everlasting; so it's a tough dream to achieve. But hey no one's gonna dream for me, and since I'm gonna have to do it on my own; I might as well dream big.
