SunfallE Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 Is there really a choice here? For people who want to be with the love of their life. Isn't that in itself a dream? For those who really want love in their life there is not much of a choice as that is part of what their dreams are. If you are totally sacrificing your dreams for love is it true love? I can't imagine being with someone who would expect me to give up my dreams, it would be as if they wanted me to leave part of my very soul behind to be with them. I think that is totally selfish. And I feel the same way for any guy I consider being with, if I am to marry him, to a certain extent what right do I have to expect him to give eveything up for me? I'm proably not explaining this very well, but, I think love and dreams are in many ways the same. If I am giving up love, it's becuase it wasn't true love in the frist place. To give up my dreams, would to be giving up on who I am, and that's something I can never do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes it's hard though to not give your dreams and sometimes it is easy, for both of you to try to forfill your dreams, but in some case sometimes a dream will always stay a dream. but you have your whole life to forfill it, just dont take too long to do it. Life sometimes is too short. :catgirl: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I agree with him. I don't want to live alone in my deam house. I'd rather have a simple house with someone I love.[/SIZE][/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 [color=#737373]I think you can take this question in two ways. I mean...I guess my dreams of a perfect life involve a career that I love [i]and[/i] a relationship with someone who I am deeply in love with. Having both would obviously be totally ideal. But if I had to choose, say...a perfect career with all the best material posessions, or if I could just live normally but have the perfect partner for me? I'd probably have to choose the latter. Loves can come and go, [i]but[/i] presumably we're talking about a "true love" here. In that case, if I could just live as I do now but have a true love...that would probably be perfect. But having said that, I think that someone you love wouldn't restrict you from achieving things in your career and other areas anyway. So it's definitely hard to answer the question. If being in a perfect relationship stopped me from accomplishing my other dreams...I'd have to ask how perfect that relationship really is.[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benakittie Posted June 4, 2005 Share Posted June 4, 2005 [quote name='kenshinsbabe']This is a tough decision...I've been called a dreamer and a romantic before, and both dreams and romance are important to me. If push came to shove, I would choose love over dreams. Dreams can be torn apart, but as long as I have my true love with me, I could withstand any hardship. *sigh* Someday, my prince will come...lol[/quote] [COLOR=DeepSkyBlue][FONT=Comic Sans MS]Not to sound mean or anything but I rather not be the princess hopelessly waiting for her prince. That's rather pathetic and I rather have my dream than the love of my life. A dream is fragile and needs to be taken care of with hope of becoming a reality. If the love of my life asked me or tried to get me to give up my dreams, I'd push him away and tell him, "Get the hell outta my life!!" I'm very passionate about my dream and at one point of my life my dreams were the only thing that kept me going. *light chuckle* If anything I'd rather be the prince. I know I can live happily by myself with my dreams, but I know for sure I won't be happy without them.[/FONT] [/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenshinsbabe Posted June 4, 2005 Share Posted June 4, 2005 [SIZE=3][FONT=Georgia]I didn't mean it as what you put it as. I just meant that I would let go of everything I ever dreamed of to be with my true love. I don't like the idea of being a helpless princess, trapped and waiting for someone to save me. But if I were to give up my dreams, that's kinda what I'd be, wouldn't it? But with my love, not alone, just without anything but him.[/FONT][/SIZE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Hikari Posted September 18, 2005 Share Posted September 18, 2005 I'd chose my dreams over love. Love can hurt you in ways your dreams will never touch you. I think both are very valid, but right now in my life, with the way I'm thinking now/today, I'd save my dreams and give up love anyday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gavin Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 [SIZE=1]Interesting, most interesting. Given the choice would I choose my dreams or love, well now isn't that quite the conundrum. I suppose like James pointed out it would depend on what your dreams were and how "true" the love you're speaking of would be. If I had to sacrifice all my other dreams in order to actually achieve true love, well I'm not really sure love would be worth it, I mean without your dreams you've really nothing to reach for in life. I mean your dreams mightn't be grandiose or anything like that but they're still your dreams, what you want the very most in life and if getting the perfect wife [in my case] meant that everything I ever wanted in life couldn't happen, well I'm not sure I could stick such a marriage. Again I have never know true love or anything close to it, so for all I know I could be talking out of my behind, put personally my dreams to me are worth so much that I don't think any love, no matter how perfect would be worth giving them all up for. However in saying that if I achieved all my dreams and had nobody to share them with, it would be a very hollow existence too, I suppose like everyone else I'd like to meet a woman who I genuinely love and be able to achieve a fair portion of my attainable dreams. But if I had to pick one over the other, I'd settle for a woman who I'd enjoy spending the rest of my life with and fulfil all my hopes and dreams, though one of those dreams would obviously be to find the perfect wife. So yes, quite the conundrum.[/SIZE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nomura Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 My dreams are more important. Once my dreams are fulfilled, I could get any girl I want. Manga-ka is my number one goal. And I can't let some "love" get in my way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan L Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 There seems a bit of a misconception here, that for some bizarre reason your dreams are concrete, whereas your idea of who your love is, changes all the time.. And somehow, it's only the love part that ever really hurts. Well, in principle that's kind of true. As long as your dreams stay as just that- dreams, then they can never hurt you. They make a good refuge from the surrealness of life. But I assure you that when you start trying to follow those dreams, that's when the hurt comes in there too- because you find that no matter what you really, really, dream for in this life, it's going to be hard to get. That's why love hurts- it's about as close as any of us get to actually pursuing a dream, and when the thing we dreamed about us goes against what we want, it really hurts. And life hurts just as much, when you chase after your "dreams".. It's only the persisent ones, the ones who're willing to not give up hope, that ever achieve what they really want. Hey, they're often the only ones who really know what they want in the first place. I find that dreams are anything but concrete, because when you actually start to pursue them, they change, and you start to realise more of what you wanted or take a sudden change in direction. Or maybe you re-discover what you really want, which you completely forgot about. You see, dreams and love are almost inseperable- certainly they're the same kind of thing. If you're going to get anywhere with either one, you have to stick at it. If you really love someone, you're going to let them let you down every now and then- because people do that. And if you really want to chase after a dream, you're going to have to cope with disappointment. Disappointment is like the barrier that separates those who might just succeed and those who never will- because those who refuse to keep going due to a guaranteed thing like disappointment, never succeed. Myself, I want my dreams, all of them, including love, but I want them in my life.. in this gritty, real life, with it's hurts and disappointments. Cos I don't want to get to retirement (a long way away I know) and still be hanging on to some dream which never left the confines of my mind.

Attimus331 Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 Well the way i perceived the question is i can only have one of the two, the love of my life or my dreams. As in i can't say my dreams are to be with the love of my life among other things, that's cheating. Hehe. Finding the love of my life is definitely part of my dreams. It's actually my most important dream. Heh, so i bet you can guess what i choose. But besides love i also dream about having a great job, being successful, starting a family with the woman i'd love, and inventing a pill that makes junk food good for you! Hahaha. That'd be the sweetest thing ever. But yeah, if i had to choose between the two, i'd definitely choose the love of my life. To me love is the most beautiful thing a person could ever experience. Of course the question is hypothetical, so you guys that keep sayin' the potential to be hurt is always there, well, it's not. It's hypothetical you guys. The love of your life won't leave you. So yeah, i'd definitely go with the love of my life. Heh, i think i might've found her already though. Later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horendithas Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 If I had to choose I would keep my dreams. I have no real desire to find the love of my life so to speak. Dreams are the very essence of who I am and no love could ever replace that. Perhaps in the future I would want love, but isn?t that a dream in itself? People long and dream of meeting the perfect love in their life at one point, so by keeping my dreams I not only keep who I am but I can still love if I choose to do so. If I gave up my dreams, I would be giving up everything and to me that is not love. I could never ask someone to do that for me, nor could I expect someone else to do so for me.

Annie Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 [size=1]Honestly, if I had to choose, it wouldn't matter. Why and what do I mean? I only dream of one thing, and that is my love, and my love is my only dream. My dream is Joe, and my love is Joe. So, either way, I'll be set.

gwynva Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 Given the fact that my dreams are what keeps me on my feet in life, strong and determined, i would choose my dreams. But of course a part of it includes finding love and yet it is only a part and not the total picture. My dreams are only meaningful when i have my friends, family and someone special to share them with me. Love in that sense is not a must, but a companionship is what i require. Personally i do not believe in the "the one" search of other people, as i do not believe that there exists a such person. But to dream is to hope, and hopes make us go on...

AlishaKitten Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 I say your Love. The feeling of love is great and nothing can compare to it. Your dreams are important but for me if I found my love of my life (which i have) I wouldn't want to leave them. Your never gonna find someone else like them.

Aaryanna Posted September 24, 2005 Share Posted September 24, 2005 If I had to choose I would definitely take dreams over love. Maybe it?s because I?m still young or maybe I?m just different, all I know is I really could care less if I met someone and got married or fell in love. It just doesn?t seem important to me right now. As for my dreams, well I have so many that I can?t imagine ever giving them up. ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueYoshi Posted September 24, 2005 Share Posted September 24, 2005 [color=darkred]Dreams, definitely. Despite how behind I am in my education, I still want to prove to my mum that I'm not a loser, and that I can and will make it in life. I want to start earning so I can end her financial troubles and let her live a much better life than the bag of shite one that she's stuck in right now, and I'm not going to let any broad get in the way of that.
