The things I might enjoy doing for a living are things that hardly anyone can make an adequate living doing. In the mean time, I have to eat and pay rent so my only real option is to take the first job I can find that will pay the bills, whether it's a miserable job or not. It's not a matter of daring to dream or not, it's a matter of being realistic and not wanting to be homeless.
Absolutely, you have to pay your bills, I'm not arguing that, just do yourself a favor and don't get stuck in a miserable existence, working at a job you hate for years. You deserve to travel and do what you want to do, it is easier said than done, but it will never happen if you don't believe it can.

It's far more realistic to turn your dreams into reality, than to be handed this hypothetical money that will give you the freedom to do what you want. That's all I'm saying.

We are talking about real love, the kind that people die for. The kind of love that most people will never know.

If it's an illusion then I'll chose the money any day of the week!

Oh, that thing that can be found in the movies, books, and songs... OK.

I don't think most of us live in the environments above.

What were you talking about? Love that can be found at a bar?

I'll pass on that and take my million dollar check please.

I was talking about any place other than those I just mentioned. In other words, take your check!

I think our biggest problem, I'm talking about men and women here, is that we expect some sort of fairytale romance when first off it doesn't exist and secondly neither party is willing to put in the monumental effort to make believe that it is.
