So thats a really great question I want to attempt to answer which won't be helpful at all. Ed Sheehan published his new single "Castle on the hill" and I fell so in love with this song. The lyrics just hit right in the feels. I turned 25 in September and can relate to all of this. We were all younger once. And we dreamt and we lived so intense (at least I wish you did, because man I did).

Running from the law through the backfields and getting drunk with my friends 

Had my first kiss on a Friday night, I don’t reckon I did it right

Who cannot remember these years? 10 years ago already? I remember it so vividly having a "sleep over" at my friends house, leaving at night waiting for the bus and hoping not to get caught by the police because we were clearly too young to be outside at 1 am! We felt so cool back then. We were about to go to a classmates house, he threw a party and cool people were invited. Actually they were just older and we thought they were cool. 

My friend drank too much and it was my first time holding someones hair back while she empties her stomach from all the alcohol she had. It was a really strange and intense night. We couldn't sleep there, we had to go back to her parents house at 5 in the morning and I can tell you we looked rough. But we felt so big back then, like if we achieved something and what not. 

I don't want to miss these moments and would never want to change anything. In the end I turned out pretty good and responsible I guess. Everyone goes through phases. Some more rebellious than others and thats okay. 

I actually told my parents a few months ago about this incident and well, they laughed but good Lord they would have killed me back then. I kind of wish my kids will experience this in their teenage years because I remember how happy and careless I was, I learned about boundaries. But on the other hand I would kill them too if I ever find out. 

So the main question was whats left when you stop dreaming right? There is no big difference if you dream or not. Its just that people who dream have way more faith, way more happiness. Think big! The world is waiting for your turn!
