So, for some reasons or others, we all have dreams and goals that feel unobtainable. It can be super hard to face that or let them go. For me, it is my dream of being a therapist for those who could not otherwise afford care. I am disabled and cannot go back to school, succeed in school, or hold a job. So this is way out of my reach. However, it is still my dream and it will always have a special place in my heart. Do y'all have any dreams that feel unobtainable but you can't let go?

This is probably a bit of a downer, but I always wanted to have my mum at my wedding. Simple and clichè, yeah, but it was important to me. Because of her cancer, though, she'll probably never get to see it or any other major events in my life. Hell, she may not even live long enough to see me graduate high school.

Nothing's really impossible unless there's zero chance of it ever coming to fruition. I mean flat zero, zilch, nada - even if there's 0.000000001% chance then it's not impossible. I spent most of my young life believing that my dream of having peace of mind and as few obligations as possible was unobtainable. When I broke it down though, all I need is an "Eff You" position - herein read as enough money and financial stability that I can tell any boss "Eff You" and not face homelessness.
I'm gonna grind for two years in a factory, $20 an hour, eating ramen every night, beans for breakfast and sleep for dinner if need be - I'm gonna take 2/3 of every paycheck, that's about $2,200 a month, and dump it into stocks that payout a monthly dividend. I've set up DRIP (Dividend Re-Investment Program) so that I can get to the point I wanna get to quicker.
After two years I'll have $500 a month from dividends alone, after that I just gotta keep the job a little longer, find a cheap patch of land, accrue 20% of the asking price, use the dividends to pay the monthly payment for however long until it's done - build myself the cheapest underground bunker imaginable so I don't have to care about tornados, yadda yadda yadda.
And then I can sit in my bunker all day, butt ass naked, playing old video games and watching old movies.
And no one will be able to stop me.
Aside from that I'd like to teach like minded individuals that this and things like it are obtainable, so that one day I could hopefully have neighbors who "get it" and won't call the cops over noise complaints or an unmowed lawn.

Nothing is stopping you but you, nothing is unobtainable, you can make anything your dream/goal and manage to make it come true.
Never stop believing in yourself.

for me, a goal is pretty unobtainable
i don't have passions but i strive for greatness. i crave speed but i have no drive.
i live mindlessly, my mind is foreign. a constant fog leaves me, although neutral, desperate for more. i am never angry. i am simply unsatisfied. i want to attain trophies and smile because i worked for something and achieved it.
the feeling of working hard and something and feeling it finally break is gratifying right? i want to feel. i want the proof that yes, my existence is actually worthwhile. i do not think i am useless, but i could be better.
i want to hold the world within my grasp and clutch it tightly, not because i don't want to share, but because i don't want to let go
i wish for passion and the feeling of wanting to win, to do better, but in my world there's not even the idea of a competition.
to win the race i need to run, but i haven't even started walking. i claim to want more. i see the raw emotions of those who have achieved great things. i wish to do great things. but it seems my limbs are torn, my arms too weak to hold up the weight of expectations.
i understand i am the only person who can change who i truly am but i never actually feel the need to try. there are no goals because there are no dreams. and i do not dream because i am better than that.
i ache under pressure
(i do not actually think this fully. i think writing is a good way for me to think for abit. i think i wouldnt mind writing or teaching as a job or career but thats not rlly my goal yet)
