Care Your Dream

I always have the dream to dance like a beautiful ballerina(芭蕾舞女演员) twirling around and around and hearing people applaud for me. When I was young, I would twirl in the field of wildflowers that grew in my   31 . For hours I would dance   32   people were watching me.   33    woke me up when I heard a voice saying, “I don’t know why you   34   trying to dance. Ballerinas are pretty, slim little girls.   35   , you don’t have the talent to   36   be a ballerina.” I remember how those words paralyzed(使麻木) every   37   in my body. I fell to   the ground and wept for hours.

We lived in the country by a nearby lake and I would sometimes go there to hide. I enjoyed  38   by the water. I would sit there for hours and stare at my   39  . There I was, looking   40  like a pretty ballerina dancer. Reflections don’t   41  . Once the waves would come, my reflection was   42  , washed away just like my  43  . I sat there staring at the water, hoping that my reflection would reappear and be   44  .

As I grew older, I began to realize that the dream I had was never   45  , so it slowly died. It’s not that I wanted it to die,   46   I allowed it to die the day I started listening to the words “You can’t do it.” When I   47   woke up from many years of dreaming, I realized that you can’t just keep   48   in the wildflowers, you have to move on to the   49  . I still go to the lake sometimes and sit there. Looking at my reflection is different now too. When I was young, I looked at how others saw me. Now that I am older and   50   , I look at how God sees me.
