I dreamed of these problems.
Once upon a time, I had nothing to worry about because I had nothing. No products to move. No expectations to meet. No one waiting to see if I’d fail.
Now? My head’s full of logistics, deadlines, and the gnawing hunger to make every move count. People wonder why I’m so stressed, why I’m always on the edge. But they don’t get it. I dreamed for these problems.
I wanted the pressure. I wanted the weight of my own ambitions trying to crush me. I wanted the nights where I couldn’t sleep because my mind was too busy planning the next pop-up, designing the next drop, figuring out how to survive until the next sale.
Because I’d rather lose sleep over making something real than sleep peacefully in the comfort of nothing.
I dreamed for these problems because they mean I’m living my dream. Grinding. Pushing. Risking it all. I could play it safe. But safe never got anyone anywhere.
If you’re lucky enough to feel the pressure, that means you’re doing something right. So next time the weight feels like too much, remember: You once dreamed of these problems.
And if you didn’t, then maybe you’re still sleeping. Wake up. Dream bigger.
