Dreams That Aren’t Mine

  Ever since I was little, I’ve heard stories—of great successes, of glorious victories, of bright worlds waiting to be conquered. I was raised with the idea that dreams are our guiding light, that they are the engine of life, that we move forward through them. But over time, I began to feel that some of those dreams weren’t mine. They seemed to belong to someone else, to an image built from the expectations of others—of society, of family. They were foreign to my heart, yet I carried them like armor that protected me but also weighed me down and held me back. This was one of the most painful truths I had to accept—that many of the dreams I had chased weren’t born of my soul.

Love and faith are two powerful forces that have long been intertwined throughout human history

 Love and faith are two powerful forces that have long been intertwined throughout human history. Both love and faith have the capacity to inspire hope, connection, and transformation, and when they intersect, they can create a powerful source of inspiration and guidance.

One of the most profound expressions of love and faith is found in religious and spiritual traditions, which have long emphasized the importance of cultivating a deep and abiding love for the divine, for oneself, and for others. Many religions place a particular emphasis on love as a central tenet of their faith, teaching that love is not only a guiding principle for ethical behavior, but also a path to spiritual awakening and liberation.

For example, in Christianity, love is often seen as the greatest of the virtues, and is expressed through the teachings of Jesus Christ, who urged his followers to love God and love one another. In Islam, love is seen as a fundamental aspect of the relationship between God and humanity, and is expressed through practices such as charity and hospitality. In Buddhism, love is seen as a natural expression of our inherent compassion, and is cultivated through practices such as mindfulness and loving-kindness meditation.

Beyond religious and spiritual traditions, love and faith are also interconnected in many other ways. For some, faith is an expression of love, representing a deep and abiding trust in the goodness and benevolence of the universe. For others, love is a source of faith, providing a sense of purpose, meaning, and connection that transcends individual concerns and fears.
