Lažu li sanjari? / Does dreamers often lie?

Romeo: Sanjao sam noćas jedan san.
Mercuzio: I ja.
Romeo: Što si sanjao?
Mercuzio: Da sanjari lažu.
Romeo: Ali dok su sanjali, za njih je to bila istina...

Romeo i Julia, William Shakespeare 

Da li je istina da sanjari lažu? Pa... možda čak i da. Ja sam sanjar. Oduvijek sam bila, a vjerujem da ću i ostati te da me ovaj današnji svijet neće ugasiti. Da se moja tvornica snova gdje pobjegnem kad postane preteško neće ugasiti pod svakodnevnim pritiskom. Možda lažemo, ali lažemo sami sebe. Dovoljno sam realna da samoj sebi priznam kako me moji snovi znaju zanesti pa me neko vrijeme (a to je na sreću ili žalost, kako se uzme, kratko vrijeme) drži ona euforija kako će sve biti super. Kako će se odjednom stvoriti savršen posao baš za mene. Gdje ću s veseljem odlaziti svakog jutra i s osmjehom obavljati svaki zadatak stavljen pred mene. Plaća će biti idealna za uzimanje nekog kredita za stan s kojim ću si priuštiti svoj dom. Koji ću urediti baš onako kako ja želim i koji će biti moja oaza. Sanjam brojna putovanja. Obožavam putovati. No moja ljubav prema putovanjima u mojim sanjarenjima dobiva beskonačnu potenciju. A onda me iz sanjarenja probudi još jedna odbijenica za posao. Savršen dom iz snova ostaje moja soba u stanu mojih roditelja, a putovanja ostaju gradovi na Bucket listi.

Romeo: I dreamt a dream tonight. 

Mercutio: And so did I. 

Romeo: Well, what was yours? 

Mercutio: That dreamers often lie. 

Romeo: In bed asleep while they do dream things true. 

Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare 

Is it true that dreamers are lying? Well ... maybe even they do. I'm a dreamer. I have always been, and I believe that I will stay and that this world will not shut me down. That my dream factory where I escape when everything becomes too hard will not shut down under daily pressure. Maybe we lie, but we lie to ourselves. I'm realistic enough to admit to myself that my dreams often carried me away for some time (which is fortunately or unfortunately, as you take, is a short time) when euphoria holds me and I believe that everything will be great and perfect. How suddenly there's gonna be a perfect job just for me. Where I will happily go every morning and with smile perform any task that is put in front of me. That my salary will be ideal for taking a loan for an apartment that I will call a home. And I'm gonna decorate it just the way I want and make my peaceful oasis. I dream of traveling. I love to travel. But my love for traveling in my fantasies gets infinite potency. And then another job rejection letter wakes me from dreaming. The perfect dream home remains my room in my parents home, and traveling stays a list of cities and places on my bucket list.

Možda lažemo, ali tako je divno lagati se pa makar i 5 minuta. 

Maybe we lie, but it's so great to lie yourself if only for 5 minutes.

Naravno, ima i onih kojima i najcrnija realnost nije dovoljna da ih probudi iz sanjarenja i snova. Oni postaju, ako se smijem tako izraziti, teret društvu koje mora uz sve svoje obaveze, probleme i slično preuzeti i njihove kako bi se ova kolotečina u kojoj jesmo nastavila vrtiti i postati barem malo "lakša".  

Of course, there are those which even the darkest reality is not enough to wake from daydreaming and dreams. They become, if I may so express myself, a burden to society that has with all its obligations, problems and etc. take their in order to make this "routine" in which we continue to exist at least a little "better".

Zato dragi moji sanjari sanjajte i uživajte u svojim snovima, ali ostanite realni i iskreni prema sebi jer najlakše je lagati samog sebe. No, teško je vratiti se u realnost nakon dugog vremena provedenog u snovima. Kao i sa svime u životu tako i sa sanjarenjima treba ostati umjeren.

So my dear dreamers dream and enjoy your dreams, but stay realistic and honest with yourself because it is easiest to lie to yourself. However, it is difficult to return to reality after a long time spent in dreams. As with everything in life and with the fantasies should remain moderate.

Svima onima koji su kao i ja i tu i tamo pobjegnu za vrijeme vožnje gradskim prijevozom na neki pusti otok gdje su plaže beskonačne, pijesak topao, a more kristalno čisto i plavo. Gdje između dvije palme stoji ležaljka i koktel po želji, a u pozadini se čuje neka lagana glazba posvećujem pjesmu "Dreamer" by Ozzy Osbourne. 

To all those who are like me and every now and then escape while driving on public transport to a desert island where the beaches are endless, sand warm and the sea is crystal clear and blue. Where between two palm trees stands chair and a cocktail of your choice, and in the background you can hear some soft music, I dedicate song "Dreamer" by Ozzy Osbourne.

XOXO
