CITY OF BLINDING LIGHTS




Mood- loving


‘We all have dreams, some come true and some break, we are sad when they break but then we make new dreams. When you are young everything seems like the end of the world but it’s not, it’s just the beginning’

Dreams are something which everyone has, we make some and we break some. We are all stuck in our monotonous lives, searching for something exciting. In a hope of finding it, we reach the city of blinding lights, the city where dreams are fulfilled, the city where everyone has a dream. You reach there and you don’t even realize when you lose your dream, lose yourself in that crowd. Then you just become any other person of that city, of that dream world. One thing you learn is not to give up on your dreams, even if it takes years. Patience is a virtue not everyone holds and yet the most successful people have it, because patience is all it takes to reach your destiny, your dream!


In the fast paced life of the city, in your own quest to fulfil your dream, you forget about yourself, you forget what you have become. All you want to do is be a part of the race, be the one to reach first there. When you’re running too fast, you can see your dream clearly and close, but you lose the track of time, the dream gets farther away. If you choose to have a steady pace, the dream, the destiny maybe blur but it is closer than you can think.


Sometimes in this rat race, there is no place for a person who follows his heart but his mind. Mind maybe rational, but heart knows what it wants. In the end you reach the place where your heart wanted to take you. You might regret decisions taken by mind, but you will never regret decisions taken by heart, even if you fail you make peace with it sooner or later and you think to yourself that you came to live a story which is just yours and no one else’s. It’s all about being at the right place at the right time.


To have a dream is easy but to make your way to that dream one needs courage, one needs to take a leap with closed eyes. But we choose to be safe, take a safer road, the safer road is the hardest, you are stuck in there thinking whether it was the right thing to do or not and by the time you decide to finally follow your heart, it is too late. It is too late to go back. It takes courage to give up on the safe path and start following your heart. But if following your heart is what keeps you happy, then do it. Maybe it’s late but what you get when you follow your heart makes it all worthwhile. I do believe that anything is possible. I do believe that we make our own destiny but I also believe that if you are meant to live your dream, no matter what you will get to live it.


So, stop thinking so much, get lost in the neon glow of the city of blinding lights, close your eyes, feel the wind in your face, imagine the dream in your mind and smile. Make a new dream and follow it.

  1. its no imaginary utopian city, this city of blinding lights. its every city, every human dwelling. our story, the story of the human race is made of dreams, and has stuff that dreams are made of. this post reminded me of a certain poem's certain lines. humor me as i quote them here
    "I shall be telling this with a sigh
    Somewhere ages and ages hence:
    Two roads diverged in a wood, and I,
    I took the one less traveled by,
    And that has made all the difference. "
    cheers...keep writing
