New dreams, new destiny perhaps

 I learned about the MacArthur Foundation while skimming through Angela Duckworth’s book, Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance, the author an awardee of the genius grant herself. I know this blog page’s title shows “Italy and opera”—right now, I don’t know if those dreams are still there. I don’t know if I can still dream them. As an idealist, I learned the hard way that some dreams are just too big for the real world, and if dreaming about them takes too long, sometimes, it can mean they’re meant to be just dreams forever. I’ve been quite lost in my direction over the past months. There are seasons in which I think I’m sure of what I want in life, only to revert back to uncertainty when the vision blurs and my hazy foresight decides it needs to look for the next big thing to dream about again.
