"do you trust me enough, to tell me your dreams" - 50cent

do you know what's scary? telling someone your dreams.
so if someone, who wasn't 50 cent, came to me with that noise, i'll be honest - i don't trust you enough. probably not, anyway.
in fact, if i recall correctly, i don't think i've ever told anyone my real dreams. i mean, i have them. i have goals, too. but i have dreams and those are completely different... i harbor them so subtly they're almost like dark lit. almost like they don't exist. but they do... took me a while to realize that.

what's so scary about telling someone your dreams? well first of all, that's me giving them the biggest part of me...the one i haven't reached. the one that isn't real. my means of "opening up" to a person is by showing them or expressing to them pre-meditated actions and/or qualities. dreams though, at least my own, are things of the air, basically. i know they're there, but i can't touch, see or feel them. i just know they exist.
letting someone in on something that i have yet to reach is scary... they have every power to put me in my place with that kind of destructive knowledge. to break down anything i have to say because they know that i'm not pursuing my dreams. they know i'm goal-oriented, not dream-oriented.

scary.
