"What do you do with shattered dreams?”

We all have dreams, big dreams and small dreams

Of course we all have expectations, reasonable or not

We all have a mental image of where we want our lives to be

At one point or the other we have had our lives planned out…the impeccable car, the flawless job, the perfect marriage etc.

…somehow all you dreamt didn’t happen, the exact opposite did

You were diagnosed with cancer at 19

You got fired at the zenith of your career

At 39 you are by yourself and miserable

The baby you’ve been all chummy about, was a still birth

The doctor said you can’t father a child

You are stuck in a job you don’t like because you need the money

…or maybe your situation is/was much worse than this

You are frustrated, tired and broken and honestly it feels like all the other people… your friends, siblings, colleagues are all achieving their dreams. Their lives seem just perfect!

People younger than you are getting married and you have to buy “aso-ebi” because they all call you auntie … and that in their dictionary means you should “shake body”.

People are having kids, even the very poor ones that can’t take care of them.

Everyone is healthy, happy in their marriage, getting good raises at work…

Does this sound familiar?
