Blurred Lines : Dream Big, Castles in the Sky

2 of the most common phrases, Castles in the Sky and Dream Big. But aren't these two contrary?

    It all started today when I asked myself what I had done wrong in my life to get to this stage, I wanted to analyse the root cause that clearly shattered my self esteem and left me wallowing in depression. And to no one's surprise I arrived at these two phrases

    I started backtracking my progress to the days when I enjoyed company with my homie Chrome, I was around for fourteen I guess, so what had I done wrong I asked?

   The answer was staring at me the whole time, I  dreamt big, too big?  But isn't that what we are told ever since we step foot on kindergarten well not kindergarten but ever since we can remember, people telling us left and right to dream big, but what happens if your dream is too big, too huge sometimes that it's destined for failure and what happens when you've got this huge aura of confidence and then one day the bleak reality hits you, when for so long you've termed anything less than your dream nothing at all?

   Even though you may have a decent future but one where your dreams dont come true, and you cannot live with that even though you know that there are tons of other people out there in the world suffering.

   Do Note that that is not what happened to me. It's just food for thought.
