the dream

People always say never let go of your dreams; no matter what.  The problem is some people never realise their dreams because it is a true challenge to achieve your dream. The word dream means a series of thoughts, images, or emotions occurring during sleep - which makes it sound like its unattainable wishes.  Things we see and really want but believe it is impossible in reality - when we are awake. 

I had to start seeing my dream as a message from God or someone who truly loves me and wants the best for/from me.  That led me to believe in it.  It is a challenging mission as there are so many obstacles in this world of ours; plus how many creative houses are there today; especially ones influenced by fashion.  But but but maybe God has a portion of the population that is waiting just for me and my services; yes with so many designers and aspiring designers somewhere somehow I can make it too.

Lindi and I met in tertiary, for the same reason. To do a commerce degree.  But deep down we both new we should be in an art class using our hands and letting the creativity flow.  We survived the edge, in between Economics, Marketing, Commercial Law, Business Accounting, Management and Tutorials we found time to make dresses.  Yes in my little student residential room on Stiemens street Braamfontein we ran an informal business that only functioned during the festive season.  We didn't care about class but getting out of the Edge; we didn't care about sleep but getting the dress done; and we missed out on all those things that student life represents...partying, jolling, all res picnic etc.

Just like model 1st born daughters we went on to graduate; and find fitting jobs.  For two years we pulled the new graduate look well; devoted to our jobs; taking in everything we saw, heard and experienced.  But but but the dream wouldn't go away.  And it will never go away. Today we are doing something about the dream.  And God has sent us so much support in the form of family, friends and mentors. Re ya leboga.

So friends I wrote this piece to tell you (probably reiterating what you have heard already) that you must NEVER give up on anything you want.  And lazy does not feed anyone; so also don't wait for it to come to you. Passion, prayer, patience, sacrifice, determination, strenuous work and stressful times are just some of the things you will need to make that dream(night) and reality(day).  Aluta Continua.
