My dreams

In one of my recent discussions with Liri, and some discussions with other friends, I came out to be a dreamer, but only a dreamer. Only now, when I'm 24 and the year has just started, I started to do everything to seriously pursue my dreams. For those that don't know it, I want to be a film director. Hard job, I know, and the more I know about hardships of it, the more I want to do it. It's a big challenge.

I posted a rough outline about plans to become a filmmaker, again, thanks to Liri, and decided that this year I will film something good enough to post on youtube (though not too coherent storywise maybe), next year a more serious short movie and by 30 I will debut as a feature filmmaker. I do have some projects I could pursue as my first. And I do have a talented actress, whose name I mentioned at least twice in this post ;). Yes, guys, I stand for it that Liri Sheridan is a big talent and deserves her breakthrough.

But aside from that. What are dreams really? I know that in some cases, dreams are the only reasons that keep people alive. I do know such people and I think it would be unfair and disloyal to them to share their names on a public blog. Definitely though, dreams give us power. They give us the rhythm we live with. Sometimes we quit them, because they seem unreal. I don't want to sound like the oh-so-popular positive psychologists, but what we believe in becomes our reality. I could refer to other psychologists here, even social psychologists, like Elliot Aronson, who speaks of it a bit in his classic work Human - A Social Being. I decided to fight for my dreams. I am looking for my weapons and preparing for the struggle. But it's worth it. And you know, knowing that there are a lot of people who believe in me, yes, they do!. Knowing that makes me want the job anymore and believe I will pull it off!

Thanks everybody!
