Dream Quote by C. JoyBell C
““The terrible fact about holding onto something tightly, is that, holding on tightly is the opposite of dreaming. When do dreams happen? Dreams happen when we are not trying, when we've had enough, when we hope for something more. "Holding on" is trying, is denial, is not wanting to place hope into any other direction except the one thing that you decided to grasp onto. And so... you forget to dream! You lose the magic of what it means to live! They always tell you to hold onto your dreams, they'll always tell you that. But they'll forget to remind you of how dreams happen. Dreams happen when you're not holding onto anything, when you're lost, when you're in freefall... when you're asleep. Don't forget how to dream, don't forget how the magic of being alive first happens. Stop holding onto things you used to dream of that aren't working anymore. Dream a new dream.””
