“Confront your dreams, even if it hurts.”

Today is really a bit exhausting for me. I spent most of the weekend sleeping. And I feel like those hours could have been spent on better things. But I felt so down and I am not so sure why. I checked on my period tracker and this coming week will be my ovulation week. I guess this is the reason why I am very much into my emotions. I’m trying not to... but I am. Well, I guess I just have to bear with it. Calm down, yo. You got this.

Before the night ends, I just want to share my thoughts on fulfilling your dreams even if the people around you aren’t very supportive about it.

To give a brief background, I really wanted to become a teacher. Apparently, as the typical “Asian mindset”, they told me that there’s no money in it. So lo and behold, I studied a different degree program. I may sound like I am complaining, but I just get the feeling that I wanted to do something that will sustain my heart and soul but... I am dependent with my parents so I can’t.  Anyway, fast forward to this day, I am now working in the government. I am happy, yes. But most of the days, I always feel the “what could have been”. I wanted to study law after graduation too. But my parents, I guess this is what it feels like to have a sibling who is still studying. I have to delay it again. And then, there’s this thing that makes me very sad. It’s the fact that they are very supportive in her artist dreams. I feel like crying whenever I think about it. It hurts but I am old now. I have to toughen myself. I have to be stronger and braver. I have to do what I have been wanting. I will confront my dreams even if it hurts. 

So, take note of this: Despite not getting the support that you may need or the validation of people, do it. Even if it would mean going against what they think is best for you, do it. You’ve got to decide and act upon it. This life is only a once in a lifetime opportunity and you’ve got to take that chance. Do it. Make your heart happy.

Okay, that was a bit of a drama. Anyway. 

Whenever my emotions are very much triggered on this, I’d remind myself on what my law professor told us during our class: “Confront your dreams... even if it hurts.”

That the sensory organs are acutely sensitive to even a slight qualitative difference [in their objects] is shown by what happens in the case of mirrors; a subject to which, even taking it independently, one might devote close consideration and inquiry. At the same time it becomes plain from them that as the eye [in seeing] is affected [by the object seen], so also it produces a certain effect upon it. If a woman chances during her menstrual period to look into a highly polished mirror, the surface of it will grow cloudy with a blood-coloured haze. It is very hard to remove this stain from a new mirror, but easier to remove from an older mirror. As we have said before, the cause of this lies in the fact that in the act of sight there occurs not only a passion in the sense organ acted on by the polished surface, but the organ, as an agent, also produces an action, as is proper to a brilliant object. For sight is the property of an organ possessing brilliance and colour. The eyes, therefore, have their proper action as have other parts of the body. Because it is natural to the eye to be filled with blood-vessels, a woman's eyes, during the period of menstrual flux and inflammation, will undergo a change, although her husband will not note this since his seed is of the same nature as that of his wife. The surrounding atmosphere, through which operates the action of sight, and which surrounds the mirror also, will undergo a change of the same sort that occurred shortly before in the woman's eyes, and hence the surface of the mirror is likewise affected. And as in the case of a garment, the cleaner it is the more quickly it is soiled, so the same holds true in the case of the mirror. For anything that is clean will show quite clearly a stain that it chances to receive, and the cleanest object shows up even the slightest stain. A bronze mirror, because of its shininess, is especially sensitive to any sort of contact (the movement of the surrounding air acts upon it like a rubbing or pressing or wiping); on that account, therefore, what is clean will show up clearly the slightest touch on its surface. It is hard to cleanse smudges off new mirrors because the stain penetrates deeply and is suffused to all parts; it penetrates deeply because the mirror is not a dense medium, and is suffused widely because of the smoothness of the object. On the other hand, in the case of old mirrors, stains do not remain because they do not penetrate deeply, but only smudge the surface.
