The Dreams box

You lead a life that suits you. You are even mostly happy. Content. And grateful, because knowing your circumstances, it could have been much worse.

But once in a while you open a secret box. A box where your youth dreams live. A box, that is very private and is locked for the bigger part of your life. Sitting tucked in the farthest and most hidden parts of your being.

Yet, once in a while you open it. And remember. The dreams. The You, that dreamed them. Because the You now is very different. It is not the wild and limitless You. The You now is timid and wingless bird. But you enjoy to remember all the cherished dreams.

To remember yourself!

You share the same body. That You, that knew no limits meets the one conditioned by society, adulthood and other life circumstances. May be you cannot change much, but your older You can give you strength, hope and confidence.

Because it is still in you, even if you meet on rare occasions. And even if you feel very little of it in yourself now.

Keep that box and open it more often. Remember who you were and don't let yourself get broken. Keep your essence in a world that doesn't care the bit about you! As long as you remember yourself, you are still here!
