Are dreams always impossible? I have heard only in stories where someone's dreams have come true, only in fairy tales. Have you ever known anyone who can say that about their circumstance — that it happened, just as they imagined it would? I myself have known no one. Perhaps I ask too much, that these dreams dear to me, that they come to life as if meant to be, become more than just imagination's figments. Perhaps dreams, at least my dreams, are impossible.... Or is it that I have too little faith? I cannot tell, one way or another, but my striving to fulfill my dearest wishes seem always to be face first into a harsh wind, to be blown back to the beginning of my journeys again and again — to start again, struggle on again from zero.
But my dreams: sometimes I feel as if I have nothing else. Nothing but to struggle from naught, if the fates would have it be. I have to think that it is all somehow for the best, that perhaps it is in the attempt that character is forged. So, I will try again, to climb to where no one has climbed ever before, to dream impossible dreams that no one has ever seen in the full light of day. I will hope, still, even be my cause hopeless — if it is a fool's hope, I say to you that I am a fool, and will always be one. And if what I dream now is ever taken away, as long as I am alive, I can dream anew, new impossibilities, new reasons to rise and meet the day.

ive been reading your page whenever i could for years (i spend a lot of time in hospitls) and for some reason this seems to me the saddest thing youve could rite. i havent thought before of my dreams not coming true. its strange. i just hold on to them so tight in my heart that no matter what i knw that they already are true. i guess i hadnt really realized that they could be impossible because they already are real to me because i made them with my own heart and i feel it as if it already were so and i live it everyday. anything is possible, if you believe.

Dreams come true. But only the bad ones, it seems. Never dismiss them, however, because they can still bring hope.
