Dreams that are shattered

We all have our shattered dreams. Things we wish we'd done, things we wish we could do but can't.

It's always because we don't have enough of something.
not enough money
not enough courage
not enough force
not enough practice
not enough, never enough.

And of course, it hurts. It hurt to realize we just couldn't, we just can't, we just won't.

That's where the beauty lies. It hurts but we step forward
we try something else
want something else.

We move on to other dreams because it's the dream that are shattered, not ourselves. That makes everything hurt so, so much less.
