Its kinda hard to wake up in the morning knowing that I'll get to none of the things I consider beneficial towards my future. I assume in a world in which each of us wakes up to fulfill our dreams we wouldn't need snooze 5x. As we grow older our standards for life are often lowered without much attention being payed to them. Eventually we wake up finding out that we have totally sold out on everything that was important to us and can barely recognize the life and person we've become.
One of two things happens typically - people die inside, or they have a mid-life crisis. Personally I lean towards mid-life crisis. However many people see this trend as illegitimate by the fact that I am in my 20's.
I say how isn't a full life and weaving a rich tapestry of self deceit that ages my every moment with unnecessary lies and compromises normal? At what point do we all realize we are miserable in some form or another with the lot life has given us, that we give each other.
Media, stories, and special moments in our lives will remind us of the raw wonder we once had. En masse we reject it all and cling to each other, but each shares this pain and reinforces it in one another. We treat each other as beings incapable of great things, think of it how many people who surround you do you think capable of changing the world? My guess is few if not none.
Yet in this cycle we do not see ourselves as responsible for this general torment, this degradation of the populations adventurism. The basic social truth being that when you perceive somebody in a particular light - that's how you treat them. If so few are seen as capable and all the rest treated as incapable, is this not stagnation's principal force? Stagnation by peer pressure and the incomprehensibility of capability.
Some day somebody's gonna have to say make a stand, say enough! You and all you self-doubting passive aggressive pussies can kiss my ass, I'm gonna do this - and try. Courage is socially acceptable, its time it became the standard in our lives and for each other. The courage to chase our dreams, the courage to help each other fight for them, and to defy our doubts.
When this urge to challenge and our lives becomes the trend, determination and yuletide defiance, mornings will be glorious. 
Dreams are not for children, stories of men and woman who lived theirs are.
