Dead Childhood dreams

Discussion in 'Real Life Stories' started by alejandrovh, Aug 12, 2011.

  1. When I was younger I would always tell myself that the way I thought and my dreams and ideals would never change. I thought people had the potential for more, that peace in the world was a possibility, and that I would never commit any mistakes I witnessed. I also thought i could be superman lol. So what about you guys... Did you have any childhood dreams that never became?
    Oh and listen to comfortably numb by Pink Floyd. It will get you thinking haha here are the lyrics

    Hello,
    Is there anybody in there?
    Just nod if you can hear me
    Is there anyone home?

    Come on
    Now
    I hear you're feeling down
    I can ease your pain
    Get you on your feet again

    Relax
    I'll need some information first
    Just the basic facts
    Can you show me where it hurts?

    There is no pain you are receding
    A distant ship's smoke on the horizon
    You are only coming through in waves
    Your lips move
    But I can't hear what you're saying

    When I was a child I had a fever
    My hands felt just like
    Two balloons
    Now I've got that feeling once again
    I can't explain
    You would not understand
    This is not how I am

    I... Have become comfortably numb

    O.K.
    Just a little pin prick
    There'll be no more aaaaaaaah!
    But you may feel a little sick

    Can you stand up?
    I do believe it's working
    Good
    That'll keep you going through the show
    Come on
    It's time to go

    There is no pain you are receding
    A distant ship's smoke on the horizon
    You are only coming through in waves
    Your lips move
    But I can't hear what you're saying

    When I was a child
    I caught a fleeting glimpse
    Out of the corner of my eye

    I turned to look but it was gone
    I cannot put my finger on it now
    The child is grown
    The dream is gone
    I... Have become comfortably numb

  2. And remember just because they didn't become reality doesn't mean you shouldn't strive for them still. Be the better man.
     
  3. I wanted to be a pro baseball player when I was a kid but I tore my UCL when I was 16
     
  4. I wanted to be an author, write the great American novel. I still do but life gets complicated...priorities shift and get sidelined.

    right now I'm busy enough just paying rent.
     
  5. I agree, as a child i said i wouldnt do the dumb and crazy things i witnessed others doing, and i wondered why ppl were so crazy lol. i now understand that life itself makes ppl crazy.
     
  6. Nope. Fulfilling my childhood dreams.

    I always thought I wouldn't become a stoner but I did. Maybe that is failing but fuck it I love being high.
     
  7. The dreams don't die, they just lie there sleeping.

    And what do you dudes think "mid-life crisis" is all about? :confused_2: It's just you dudes FINALLY getting around to fulfilling those "Childhood dreams" (get a hot car, go skydiving, visit Nepal, etc) that you left "on hold" so long ago! ;)


    Granny :wave:
