Humans are haunted by dreams that inspire us with powerful illusions of happiness. Being nothing but inspired and compelled in chasing an ambition brings passion into our lives. Although our dreams are there to inspire so much elation, it's almost as if they act against us when experiencing times of obstacle, self-doubt, or failure. Being unable to reach these visions of achievement can provoke so much pain and sorrow; as if our dreams march away from our grasps as we slowly degrade from the angst sent our way. We put so much of our hearts into the ideal world that our ambition holds, it feels as if we're being ripped from our dreams. Back into reality. When we chase our dreams, it's simply natural to feel that pain — to look past it and hold a hope for infinite opportunity is what dreams are all about. This piece commemorates D.R.S. [1991-2011] who lost sight of that hope.
