"It's okay to dream. It's okay not to dream. What matters most is taking care of yourself."
There are moments in life when everything feels too heavy. Days when even getting out of bed seems like a battle. I've been there too. I've had days when my dreams felt too big and my strength felt too small. And I've had days when I didn't even know what my dream was, lost in the noise of the world telling me what I should want.
If you're reading this, I want you to know—it's okay. It's okay if you have a dream so big it scares you. It's okay if you're still figuring things out. And it's perfectly okay if, for now, your only goal is to take care of yourself. Sometimes, just surviving is the bravest thing you can do.
It's also okay if your dream isn't about becoming famous or building a career. Maybe your dream is as simple and as beautiful as having a happy family, raising children with love, and creating a home filled with warmth and laughter. If that's your dream, cherish it. In a world that often measures success by achievements, never forget that happiness is also a success.
It's okay if your friends are becoming independent and building careers while your dream is to build a peaceful life with your loved ones. Your dream is valid too. Whatever path you choose, make sure it brings you happiness.
Most importantly, put yourself first. Prioritize your happiness, your mental peace, and your well-being. Life isn't always easy. It's messy, unpredictable, and full of ups and downs. It's okay to struggle, to feel helpless, to have mood swings, heartbreaks, and days when nothing makes sense. It's okay because that's what being human is all about.
Whoever you are, wherever you are, whatever you're going through—please know this: you are perfect just as you are. You are doing your best, and I'm proud of you.
It's okay if you're still figuring out what you want from life. It's okay if you've failed before. Take your time. Rest if you need to. And when you're ready, start again with hope in your heart.
I never thought I'd write this story. Who would care? I asked myself. Who would want to read my thoughts, my dreams, my struggles? But then I realized—if even one person reads this and feels less alone, if even one heart finds comfort or motivation through my words, then every doubt was worth it.
So here I am, typing away, sharing pieces of myself. I'm not perfect. I'm not someone who has it all figured out. I'm just a girl with dreams that feel too big sometimes and fears that feel even bigger. But I'm trying.
And that's enough.
If you're reading this, I hope you know—you're enough too.
We all have moments when we feel lost, but sometimes, all we need is one story, one line, one moment that makes us believe again.
I've always found comfort in stories. Maybe that's why I'm obsessed with Korean dramas and Chinese dramas—the way they make you laugh, cry, and believe in love, dreams, and hope all over again. Each drama I watch feels like a friend who says, "It's okay. You're not alone."
This story is my way of saying that to you.
So, if you're chasing a dream, keep going. And if you're just trying to get through the day, that's okay too.
Sometimes, the bravest thing you can do is simply take care of yourself.
I don't know where this story will go. I don't know how many people will read it. But I'm giving it a try.
Because sometimes, trying is the most beautiful thing we can do.
