on broken dreams...

sometimes i go all the way preparing myself not to expect a particular something...yet when the moment arrives, it hurts real bad...like someone has punched me hard in the stomach!!
and i wonder what is the use of preparing the self soo much??
perhaps its better off living a fantasy hoping itll come true someday and then see it getting crushed to bits when the time comes than being broken into pieces every single day just preparing for it only to find out that in the end, u can never really be completely prepared...

no matter how much u try to forget a dream, it still hurts when it is broken!

u talk of my mind state right now..but i feel broken..not coz of broken dreams..but coz of broken will to pursue the dream. :)

well wat can i say ? every broken dream is like a broken star..a new star is born from it :-)

dnt worry thinking abt it :-)

Rambler said...

it hurts for sure..as long as it does not prevent from dreaming again, I guess its just part of it..

Solitaire said...

I wish we could sleep forever..

Life: Expect nothing from it. dreams are meant to be broken, only time they are fulfilled is when we dont want them to!

My way - You grow and live with your dreams each and every moment, so a broken dream is just out of question but again it can’t be marked by the amount of success or happiness you brought back. Well, it’s difficult to explain if somebody tied it with the broken heart ;)

Don’t get carried away with the sense of loosing something rather fights for it until your dream become your reality.

keep rocking ...

you cant forget the dream, after all it is a DREAM! But maybe it was just not your dream? Maybe you will be lucky and a bigger one will come true because in the end something good should happen. At least i believe in this :)

Ankur said...

***no matter how much u try to forget a dream, it still hurts when it is broken!

Thats true. And finding a new dream does not come easy either. But it always comes a point when a new door is opened for us again. Take hold of it i would say.;)

Cheers!

Its all abt our inner strength.. how we pick up the strewn pieces and keep ourselves going. We really need to look at such things quite objectively and move ahead. If indeed we keep brooding over, its gonna pull us further deep.

Cheer up.

The more you try to forget about something the more it haunts you pri!
Living in delusions isn't the solution as you cannot escape from the realities..atleast facing them will make your stronger or less prone of being hurt!

Pri said...

@ veens
maybe ur right veens...we never really stop dreaming no matter how much the hurt isnt it? :)
but sometimes a shattered will from a broken dream dosent let us move towards the new dream...

@ rambler
i agree...its never that we lose the capacity to dream...sometimes we just too afraid :)

@ solitaire
i wish so too :(
err that does sound a bit eerie dosent it? :-/

@ ashish
dont be soo harsh on life...i know it sucks sometimes...
but think of it this way...atleast we are happy while we are dreaming :)

Pri said...

@ alok
dreams cant be fought and won over :)
sometimes turning them into reality is just not possible...
some dreams are somewhat like soap water bubbles...they are ephemeral..
no matter how much u wish they stay they have to pop up and if they enter ur eye, they can make u cry :)

@ lena
thats very optimistic and encouraging...thankyou! :)

Pri said...

@ ankur
it isnt fiction ankur..its the bitter truth of life :)

@ sweetstickychewy
thanks for aprreciating the template...the credit goes all to a coupla friends (ankur and veens)without whom it wouldent have been possible :)
and thanks for the encouraging words...
but reminded me of something i had once read somewhere and proves true in this situation---that oppurtunities are like doors...when one closes the other opens...
but sometimes we satare at the closed door soo long that we dont see the one open for us...
guess its true in most cases :)

@ cm-chap
ur right...but sometimes its too late by the time we realise and by that time , the phase in which the willpower shud have been applied to make a difference, is long gone past and it just remains a matter of luck....
neways...maybe its an early lesson for a forthcoming phase in life :)

@ rakesh
lol! and un fortunately most of us around here only rely on words for understanding ;)

Pri said...

@ ekta
ohh im an old guest to the surprise party called 'life' dear...infact almost feel at home now...and getting kinda used to the surprises...sigh!
im okay...hows u doing? u hardly blog nowadays :(

@ endevourme
are we celebrating that line endevourme?? lol!!
neways so be it then

heres to the new realisation...
cheers!! :D

@ vrij
hey those words make perfect sense!
and ur right...
sometimes we just gotta leave the pieces behind and try to move on...
but there are those days when one of those pieces prick ur feet and ur reminded of those broken dreams again!
guess it all depends on how far the broken pieces fly when crashed and how good u are in sweeping away the pieces...i guess im not that good enough :(
some pieces always remain...
but neverthless thanks for the strong words...they helped :)

@ an illusion
thats what i always thought, illusion :(
but ive realised that they do perhaps make u stronger but they dont hurt any less than what they would otherwise...

alok said...

oops !! did I sound otherwise ... anyways what I meant was, a fight for your dreams never guarantee you a win or the success but the courage to stand up for yourself. And that’s where you marked your effort and time; at least you will find it worth living as a dream itself, rather being a wondering soul :)

IncorrigibleV said...

loved what uve written for its sheer verity in my life atleast...

Pri said...

@ alok
well said!! i agree :)

@ sweetstickychewy
at some point in time, we all have dear...
some unseen oppurtunities lost along the way and the regret that we let them go in the pursuit of something wch wasent ours at all :)
c'est la vie!

@ sam

Pri said...

@ mez
