Time To Stop Dreaming?

The dream I had at 22 is still the dream I have at 34. It wasn't the typical dream most 22 year olds have. And it is probably not the typical dream 34 year olds have.

I am ready to start going after my dream. What about you?

I'm 50. I should be living the dream by now. It's time to take action.

On the other hand, your life seems REALLY good to me...

Just Do it!! You will never be truly happy until you try and if you are still dreaming and thinking about it's meant to be!! DO IT!!

But first, tell us what it is!!!!

It's easier said than done in this case. I want to move back to NYC. Have wanted to for a number of years. But have really wanted to in the past year.

Great dream, do it!!

The logistics are manageable but is Human on board with uprooting himself?

He is not. Which means we would have to live in two different cities. Which is why this is all easier said than done.

Honestly, I hope I could say something deep and meaningful (like Master Oogway) but I can't.

That is indeed a problematic situation. May be there might be a way that will come up soon which will solve this situation?

But other than that I really think your life is wonderful! (Grass is greener... blah blah... I know) :-D

I lived in NYC for 16 years (and was born to NYC natives--we moved Upstate and I went back after college). NYC is wonderful, but it's also a grind. Toronto is beautiful, clean, near water--and a short plane ride from NYC. Is there anyway you could do business for your company in NYC? That way you'd be able to visit often--but then go home to your husband and beautiful, clean, groovy city. Having someone you love in your life is wonderful and not something to dismiss for bright lights and big city, both of which can dim as one matures. Just a thought, of course:).

Well, seeing as I lived in NYC for some time (three years - in fact, that's where The Husband and I met), I am pretty sure I know what to expect.

And while Toronto is a nice city, it's not for me long term. It's too spread out. And there's just not enough here.

I am plenty mature now. Which is why I am having this dilemma... I've followed someone for the past 8 years. Maybe it's time to do what I want to do.

Sorry. That shouldn't have sounded like a question. Let me try again...

"It's time to do what I want to do."

Other wise, I am a person who works her whole life around another person... Doing most of the compromising. And while that is fine to do in doses (because one has to do a lot of compromising in marriage), it's not fine for everything.

At a certain point, you have to ask yourself, "Will I regret not doing this one thing?"

For a long time I kept pushing the question out of my mind. But now I don't think I can. If it keeps popping up, then it is a sign.

You should never hold yourself back because you are afraid to at least ask yourself a question. Ask the question of the universe... And see what happens and where things go.

Of course you're right! I wish I had had your sense of self at 34 (it's not like I'm 90, but I've got a few years on you)!

I have really not started dreaming. At 37, soon to be 38, I am starting to dream.
