I was in the middle of watching the movie “Eat, Pray and love” when a thought came across my mind. It was all related to the movie. In one scene the lady was asking her friend when did she decided to have a baby and the friend answered her “I started stuffing a lot of baby thingy inside a box since I was married and have been keeping it there until me and my husband were finally ready to have a baby”. Just then, the lady came to think of her own life aka her marriage and her dream. She said “I have a similar box but it was filled with articles about traveling to the places that I have been wishing I could go to”. Not the exact conversation but similar meaning.
Now, the box thing the women discussed lengthy about triggered me to think of my own dream. If I am as free as one can be without restrictions what were the dreams I used to have?
About two weeks ago I had almost the same conversation with my girlfriends. We are all adults not so happily working women thinking about all the same thing which is; while the work pays, it’s no longer fun. We all then spoke to each other of our heart desire in the future. Even though it was only mentioned perhaps only out of fantasy but one of my friend did say something that really made me think hard. I really am still thinking about what she has said. Something in me is asking myself back; is it possible??? And followed by: Maybe I should try.
Between now and then when I am most capable of dreaming I wish like the woman in the story I would be able to pursue it one by one. It dawned on me that when I started to organize things from January to December it really feels like I am running out of time. There is not much thing that I am able to accomplish the way I wish it to be.
I am cracking my head once in a while and I think if I keep looking out for a way to really make all my dreams come true it will soon happen.
Come to think of it. What is inside my box? I have to get back the exact items that I have been stuffing inside it all these years. I must reopen it back, take a glance and perhaps make it real this time around.
Emmm..let me just finish the movie first. I am hoping to get an answer at the end of the movie; of the content in my box …^_^
To have a dream is a blessing.
