It's funny because when you're a child, you believe you can be anything you want to be, go wherever you want to go. There's no limit to what you can dream. You expect the unexpected, you believe in magic, in fairy tales, and in possibilities. Then you grow older and that innocence is shattered and somewhere along the way the reality of life gets in the way and you're hit by the realization that you can't be all you wanted to be, you just might have to settle for a little bit less.Or perhaps a variation of what you once wanted.Why do we stop believing in ourselves? Why do we let facts and figures and anything but dreams rule our lives?
The quote reflects on the journey from childhood dreams to adulthood's harsh realities. As children, we are filled with boundless imagination, believing in endless possibilities and the magic of dreams. This perspective allows us to envision a world where anything is achievable and where we can go anywhere, fueled by hope and optimism.
However, as we grow older, that innocence is often replaced by disillusionment. The challenges of life lead many to abandon their dreams, opting for more practical paths instead. It prompts us to question why we stop believing in ourselves and why we allow concrete facts to overshadow our imaginative aspirations.
