Although I never knew it then, I just held on to something that would never come to pass. Dreams really do exist. But in the morning when you wake up, they are remembered just as a dream. That is what happened to me.
I always had the dream to dance like a beautiful ballerina twirling around and around and hearing people applaud for me. When I was young, I would twirl around and around in the fields of wildflowers that grew in my backyard.
I thought that if I twirled faster everything would disappear and I would wake up in a new place. Reality woke me up when I heard a voice saying, "I don't know why you bother trying to dance. Ballerinas are pretty, slender little girls. Besides, you don't have the talent to even be a ballerina." I remember how those words paralyzed every feeling in my body. I fell to the ground and wept for hours.
We lived in the country by a nearby lake. I did not like to be at home. When my parents were home, my mother just yelled and criticized because nothing was ever perfect in her life. She dreamed of a different life but she ended up living in the country far away from the city where she believed her dreams would have come true.
I enjoyed hanging out by the water. I would sit there for hours and stare at my reflection. There I was, looking nothing like a pretty ballerina dancer. Reflections don't lie. Once the waves would come, my reflection was gone. Washed away just like my dream to dance.
As I grew older, I began to realize that the reason my dream was even born, was because it was something that was inside of me. [color=Red]The dream I had was never nurtured and cared for, so it slowly died. It's not that I wanted it to die, but I allowed it to die the day I started listening to the words, "You can't do it." When I finally woke up from many years of dreaming, I realized that you can't settle for dancing in the wildflowers, you have to move on to the platform. [/color]
**** Hidden Message ***** :) 我从未关注并用心实现梦想，所以它慢慢逝去了。这不意味着我不去梦想，但从我听到“你无法去实现它”这句话开始，我就已经放弃了梦想。当我从很多年的梦中醒来，我知道你不能只满足于在野花丛中起舞，你应该有自己的舞台。 我从来没有去真的关注和培养这个梦想，所以它渐渐地消失殆尽。并不是因为我希望它消失，而是因为当我听到那句“你做不到”的时候我放任了这个梦想的破灭。当我从这多年的梦想中清醒的时候，我意识到自己不能仅仅满足于在野花丛中起舞，而是应该走向舞台。 :qq51] we need to catch the chance,so,Never End Your Dream! never say:" you can't do it" 而我的梦想从来没有培育和呵护，因此它慢慢地死去。这并不是说我希望它死，但我让它死的一天，我开始听的话，“你不能这样做。”当我终于醒来从多年来的梦想，我意识到，你不能满足于在野花跳舞，你必须移动到舞台。 :qq49] 我从未关注并用心实现梦想，所以它慢慢逝去了。这不意味着我不去梦想，但从我听到“你无法去实现它”这句话开始，我就已经放弃了梦想。当我从很多年的梦中醒来，我知道你不能只满足于在野花丛中起舞，你应该有自己的舞台。 :) :victory:
