unfulfilled dream ... do you have it? do you still pursue it?

I have been watching a certain Korean movie titled "HWANG Jin Yi" recently, and well, it quite stirred up my emotion because of the beauty of the story, also the great Soundtrack melodies, and the beautiful dances the characters did in the movie. Honestly, back then I didn't like the actress who played as "HWANG Jin Yi", I saw her in different Korean serials back then, but never put any attention to her. However, this movie changed my opinion, because she did play the character very well and I have to give two thumbs up for her and for the other actors / actresses there. And FOUR thumbs up (my feet's if needed LOL) for the choreography and the music of the Soundtrack, and the ending of the story. I'm speechless, the melodies and the dances triggered me to weep! Because this movie had waken me up about my unfulfilled dreams of becoming a musician and music composer, also a dancer. I had given up these dreams back then after having a bottom rock experience in life. And I don't know if I should pursue my dream back again, and ... I'm not sure if my old dreams would be able to afford my life. With recent condition, I am thinking of giving up my current profession as programmer, I still have the dream I don't intend to give up ... I wish one day I would be able to help the nations to erase the starvation all around the world. All around the world. All of the kids will get plenty of foods and nutritions, and all of them will have clothes and roofs on top of them. All Moms and Dads and Kids and Grandparents will smile from the bottom of their hearts, and they won't regret that they have ever been born and have come into this life. I know this sounds too high for all of us. Some negative remarks might come, after all, I have already gotten some comments "You are dreaming something impossible". Yeah, it might be something that I won't be able to fulfill either ... but I wish one day someone will be able to do it ... for all of us, Humanity. Should we give up our unfulfilled dream(s)? I don't think I will give up anymore, until the last breath I have. How about yours? Do you still chase your dreams?

I think going to and finishing college would be on my list. It's something that my family is more or less pushing me to do. I like doing freelance writing work because it suits me. I'm honestly not interested in spending loads of time taking journalism classes. But in the end I know that's what I'm eventually going to do.

yeah, finishing college would be the dream of most of us. back then I have been struggling to finish it too, even when I knew I didn't like the major. however, I changed my mind set, I didn't take my family's push as pressure any longer, I took their push as part of their supports for me. so later I finally graduated from the college (surprisingly with good mark for the last project) and I know that my studying has contributed something good to my current period of life. so I wish your good luck and for the best for you. I hope that both your favorite freelance writing work and your studying will contribute a lot of good things for you in your future!
