It was much easier to drift through life and worry about everyone else's needs. I think a big part of why I never let myself dream of what I wanted is the fear of getting my hopes up and then not getting what I wanted. Kind of explains why I never window shop....  I can relate.I definitely think that's at least a small part of it. But I think another part of it is learning to be happy with what you've got. When I was a child my mother always told me I had champagne taste on a beer budget. And I think she meant that more than in a financial way. Also, and I think I've talked about this before here, that whole notion of 'you can do anything if you put your mind to it', or 'you can be whatever you want to be' was never instilled in me. I was often reminded of my limitations in life. But like a goldfish that only grows as large as his environment will allow, I've learned to be happy or at least content with what I've got. |

My mom was always reminding me that life was hard and you'll never be happy... She was always there to remind me of the negative.. never the positive.. Now it is up to me to find the positive and be happy with what I have also but I am trying to find out what really makes me happy along the way and going for it. I am trying to overcome my fears that led me to the life I am living right now. Though it is safe and comfortable.. it is not enough.. | |

Hardly! 
Things are too all over the place for now to decide whether it's a decent alternative dream though. Too early to call. | |

My life resembles my former dreams, but has not attained my dream. But that's okay, because I dream big. It's healthy to have big dreams because that makes me strive.
On the other hand, my life is far richer than I could have imagined at a young age. So in that sense, I have surpassed my dreams. I continue to dream and to grow into my dreams. My dreams are not stagnant, but change and evolve. The fact that I pursue my dreams and turn imagination into action, is essentially living the life I dream. | |

As far as the women i have been with i have. When i was a teen i wished i could hook up with the prettiest girls in school. They would usually ignore me. But later on i got the hot women and hopefully even hotter ones are in the future. | |

Just recently, my dreams are being realized in ways I could not have imagined. My life has suddenly taken this 360 degree turn when before it seemed like I had been at a monotonous-having-the-life-sucked-out-of-me-standstill.
I still don't have the life I've dreamed of because I have to be realistic, but at this moment I'm more content than I have been in years.  | |

Maybe more of you would be living the dream if you went and participated in the masturbation festival that has been posted about on the thread! Carpenters bend wood, fletchers bend arrows, wise men fashion themselves.

Dear Spats, Do you or have you had any dreams not related to hot women? I mean, in the spheres of occupation, artistic endeavors, travel, personal development, etc. I'd love to hear about another aspect of yourself. hbo | |

Not really 
I had big dreams for myself, still do I suppose. I thought that Id have it all figured out by now, and that everything would be running smoothly. Instead, its running worse than ever and life as an adult is no fairytale. More importantly though, I think I am the person I wanted to grow into, so Im happy with that. Still want to be a rock star though  | |
