Some people dream in single, steady ambitions—clear goals, step-by-step plans, one path leading to a destination. But not me. I am a girl who dreams in thousands.
Every day, my mind races with possibilities. I want to write novels, paint murals, explore foreign cities, stand on a stage, and leave a mark on the world. I want to live a life so full of passion and meaning that when I look back, I see a masterpiece made of moments.
But here’s the problem: I never seem to finish a single thing.
A Sky Full of Shooting Stars
My dreams flash through my mind like shooting stars—bright, brilliant, and gone before I can catch them. I chase them with all my heart, but just as I reach for one, another appears, pulling me in a different direction.
Some nights, I lay awake, overwhelmed by the weight of possibility. I wonder if I will always be this way—someone who dreams but never achieves, someone who starts but never finishes.
Is it fear that holds me back?
Is it indecision? Perfectionism? The fear of choosing the wrong path?
Or maybe it’s just that the world is too big, and my heart is too full of ideas to fit into one single dream.
The Battle Between Passion and Doubt
People tell me to focus. “Take it one step at a time,” they say. But how do you choose just one dream when you love them all?
I want to be a writer.
I want to be an artist.
I want to travel.
I want to make a difference.
I want to do everything.
And yet, time moves forward whether I am ready or not. I watch the days slip by, feeling as if I should have done more, accomplished more. What if I never live up to my own expectations? What if I waste all my dreams?
Doubt whispers in my ear: Maybe you’re not good enough. Maybe you’re just a dreamer, not a doer.
But then, another voice—quieter but stronger—reminds me: You are still here. You are still trying. That means something.
The Power of Trying
Maybe I won’t achieve all six thousand dreams. Maybe I will only accomplish one. But even one is proof that I tried. That I fought against the doubt, the fear, the overwhelming flood of ideas pulling me in every direction.
I remind myself that success isn’t about doing everything—it’s about doing something.
So, I will dream.
I will overthink.
I will stumble.
I will fail.
I will cry when it feels like too much.
But I will also rise. I will take one step, then another. I will start small and build something real. Because I am not just a girl who dreams—I am a girl who believes.
And that, perhaps, is the most powerful dream of all.
