A Dream Deferred... does it explode?

I decided to watch A Raisin in the Sun. I'm not totally ignorant of the poem, play or original movie. Just thought I'd throw it out there.

But the story always makes me sad. To dream, and dream and dream... and have nothing but dreams. It isn't very fulfilling.

Now I wouldn't say that I was completely without... I always manage to get by. But there's always something I desperately wish I had. Of course there is. Isn't there always something we don't have? But for me it's not a new car, or a house or clothes. Nothing material. I just want to do what makes me happy. And sometimes- most of the time- I can't even get that. It's mearly a dream. I cry about it hoping that my tears will influence fate, God... someone, something. And sometimes I realize that crying about it isn't going to anything. Sometimes I stop... sometimes I don't.

But you know, I think I'm gonna start trying to reach my dreams. I mean, that's what I'm SUPPOSED to do. And if it doesn't go well- maybe I'm meant to lend my abilities else where. I can wait to see where the cards fall or I can step in and make the cards fall- it's not cheating when it's life. So, guess what, I AM going to take control, while I still can.

*Insert Squeal* I'm so excited! Let's hope this lasts to tomorrow.
