25-27 are probably the years I think. That's when I dropped everything to reach for my dreams and ended up homeless for 3 years. gently caress.

I have not given up on my dreams. The dream of mine which is however in jeopardy is bringing hope to my friends, to good people who have become cynical. I truly love my friends so much, I want them to know that they're stronger than they think they are.

I've never had dreams to give up on.

I sometimes wonder if I might be some kind of inter-dimensional traveler who has no idea how to get back to my proper universe. Like a cosmic error of some sort.

I usually wonder this when very drunk or high, like now.

I never gave up on the belief that all your dreams come true if you're willing to think creatively from a place of love and goodwill- :cosmic2day:

But in all honesty most dreams are pretty drat well achievable in this world, just not In Real Life IRL like you'd somehow hoped it'd happen.
Like, what's your dream and tell me you haven't already lived out some semblance of that fantasy experience in either a video games, a movie, or some piece of your imagination? :krakentoot::can:

Being an astronaut is passe, anyway. Studying the infinites of Inner Space, now that's where the modern explorers are going these days :lsd: and besides- Psychonauts are so much cheaper to send into space :okpos:

Are you a BigMac of imbeciles!?
I wrote two big paragraphs about just why my life sucks and why I've given up, but that would be better suited to E/N. I was roughly 24 when I lost any motivation, and now I'm waiting for some kind of divine guidance that will never come. Until then, I will continue drifting.

my dream involved bottling hitler's urine. in sizes 500ml, 200ml, even 1 and 2 liter bottle. i put aside nearly 7 years to learn to code in erlang but realize too late that it was not that would allow me to molecularly replicate a given person's urine. in this case hitler. stalin's urine samples also exist in old commisarriot office toilet.
