Have you ever dreamt of being the perfect person in the whole world? Well Jamie does.
She dreams of being the best in what she does. She does dream… but let’s say she can’t... won’t work for it.She dreams of being a great artist. But is dreaming only enough?
“Soo.. I presume you got my introduction, yup I am Jamie or just call me Jaz that you guys just heard about. You know it’s a pain to dream but it is interesting, also. Sometimes I just wonder while I sleep.”
“Why do we all have dreams about our future? Seems like a pretty basic question. I dream because I want to have an image in my mind of what I want to live up to. I want to have a goal in my mind so I can work for it. But I am somewhat lazy. I work, and I know I am more than anyone else. But, like people always say, no matter what talent you have, even if you have a brain that can think better than anyone has ever been on the earth, if you don’t bring it to play, it’s better off not existing.”
She walks up to a place where she dreams. Her consciousness. Her land of peace. Now, I want you to imagine her land of consciousness, it’s pretty common for a person to think that a person’s consciousness or a place where they dream must be somewhere they find peace, an image of their room. An image of nature? An image of..? Her consciousness consists of nothing except noises, and emptiness. An image every time she imagines.
“Do you ever get the feeling when someone wins, that should have been you? Well, I get that almost always, I think it’s pretty common though. It’s pretty normal for people to want to get the glory and the respect but I have to agree, I have never been touched this bad ever. I know why they won, or do I? They won but that should’ve been me. I should have been the one to win that glory. I know that practice and working the same thing again and again is important, and I know they worked hard… But they just seemed not deserving of it. You know, sometimes you just get the feeling that they worked but, they just seem not deserving. It may just be my toxic trait.”
Here she lies in her own beliefs of what’s right and wrong for others, but she doesn’t see herself. People are always stuck up in what others got and why they got it, but they never seem to look for themselves, “Have I worked like they have to get that high.” Right? It’s the right thinking, right? Guess I will leave that question for you all to answer to yourself.
“People fight, but most people fight without knowing why they fight. You must have a reason to fight. Right? But somehow I am always fighting, but later when I think, “Hey Jazz? Tell me just why are you fighting by the way?” And then I remember, “Ahh, I remember, I fight for… me. I fight so that when I look back in my past, I know I fought for what I got. I fight so I can live a life I can feel proud of. I never ever looked that not working or fighting right now will have any effect on me. But after seeing people run before me, run faster than me, faster and higher. I feel if I don’t fight now, I may never have a chance to do so.. Ever…”
And here she lies again in the end, a person who dreams without dreaming for it. A person who fights without fighting. Finally, got a push to fight with all they can. A question is for everyone, “When you dream, dream first then question it. You will then truly know why you dreamt of it. If you question first, it won’t be YOUR dream. It would be your concept’s dream.”
