Is there such thing as abandoning all your dreams?

I am at the point in my life that I feel I no longer need to hold on to some dreams that I am sure of will never materialize. I feel like I should erase the whole list of dreams that I am still holding on to.

When I look at how far I have come in life, I can proudly say that I have achieved quite a lot. So many were just complementary achievements alongside my dreams and goals. I can say with pride and satisfaction that my hard work and dedication has certainly paid off. Therefore, I have come to this thought of letting go of all unattainable dreams as they may have been unrealistic and therefore could not be achieved. Also, I believe that one is given a path in which you can only achieve what your path allows and that you can not suddenly get out of your lanes and do everything else that was not meant for you in the hopes of getting the impossible.

So, what happens when I abandon the dreams that are still not ticked off my list of dreams? I guess I get a clean canvas to work with. It sounds like starting over. It sounds like taking a brand new venture in my life. Just the thought of it already relieve me of a heavy burden carried upon my shoulders. I feel relieved because now I no longer have to chase after a dream that does not exist. I have done it all. I have reached my goals, and I am still working on some of my goals to perfect them, but the bottom line is, that I have got all I ever wanted.

Abandoning dreams feels like freedom. Nothing to account for, nothing to beat myself up for, nothing to have sleepless nights for. Just living.

So, I never traveled the world but I have experienced the world through the books and stories I have read. So, I didn't get rich, but I have had a little money that gave me so much pleasure and fake friends. Lol! I have bought a number of cars and a mansion. I have raised beautiful and gifted children. I have grown in my career, I am in fact occupying a very powerful position that allows me to be highly influential in the development of the language, that is not my own. These are all my dreams that I achieved without realizing that they were in fact my dreams.

I have loved and was loved several times. I have had great friendships and I sat on tables with great leaders, people I have only admired from a distance and it is so surreal to admit that I am one of them now. Yes, I have indeed achieved all my dreams, the rest are just goals to ensure that I live a satisfying life.

I have no more dreams left. I have only goals to achieve.
