As I closed my eyes in the night, a dream took me to my high school days, where I saw my old classmate, with whom I used to share my desk, getting confessed by another student. I tried to comprehend the scenario but couldn't help but feel a tinge of jealousy. I woke up next morning, feeling confused and conflicted. Why did it bother me so much? Was it just my subconscious craving attention and affection? Or was it something else? But then I realized, it was not about me or my feelings. It was about the fact that I had never thought of my classmate in that way before. I had never considered the possibility of him being attractive or desirable to someone. And that realization brought on another feeling, one of curiosity and wonder. Our minds often close off possibilities and ideas that are unfamiliar or hard to process. But sometimes, all it takes is a dream to shake things up and make us see things in a different light. It is crucial to keep an open mind and heart, to accept and respect others despite our differences and preferences. In retrospect, I realized that my dream was not really about my classmate or his apparent popularity. It was about me learning to appreciate and recognize the beauty and diversity in life, and accepting that everyone has the right to love and be loved, regardless of who they are or how they look. So let us all learn from this dream, to be more tolerant and inclusive of others, and to celebrate the wonders and expressions of love, whatever form they take.
