That Which We Need

There are two kinds of dreams, the ones we strive to achieve and the ones meant only for escape. Dreams feed the brain, sometimes with all the proper nutrients, and other times pure candy.

Dreams that nourish. They give us purpose, a reason to live. They are the blueprint to achieve fulfillment, a map that has plotted the path to what we most desire.

Dreams as digression. They are the box of cookies we find in the back of the kitchen cabinet at midnight. Appropriately distracting in moderation, debilitating in excess.
