dreams

When I was a freshman in high school, we read the poem “Dream Deferred” by Langston Hughes. The poem was obviously questioning what happened to dreams put on layaway. This poem has always stuck with me and now as I sit in the position where the world is open to me (aka unemployed), I often think about my dream careers. We all have dream careers and jobs that we would pursue if we had no money or societal pressure, no responsibilities, and most importunately no fear.


I wish that I could land some great internship or opportunity for my dream career (writing for a television show) but there are many realities that stand in my way. Most college grads, like me, have to push off into the working field to pay off the debt of their education. It is easy to say there is no time for dreams. Or that dreams are just dreams, just escapes from reality, and they are not and will most likely, never be real. But I think that the important word there is that it is easy.
It is easy to be afraid to dream because it may not work out. Your dreams may not come true, exactly as you would like them to. But I want to; I have to believe that dreaming is important. It may be easy to give into fear but instead of wondering what happens to dreams deferred, it may be more beneficial to explore them. Although you may have to find an actual job, i think that dreams help keep out spirit alive.
