If U are 'I'

let's imagine a story
You were at the foot of a mountain, a real high one. First, u have the courageous to climb to the peak, excitedly u started. After hours of hard rock and heavy jungles, there's still a long journey to reach the top. Halfway u met wild wolfs. They are fierce, seemed to tear off your flesh and share the prey among themselves. You ran! You ran so damn fast, slipped under a huge rock. Thinking u successfully escaped from the hungry wolfs, you thought that was lucky. Then u got a bite, it's from a snake. You don't know whether it's a poisonous one. Never mind, just 2 bites. At once u grabbed a hard rock, hit it until it due. The wound was still bleeding. But u looked at the peak, convinced yourself u must get up there. So, journey goes on.

After hundreds and thousands of footsteps, u started feeling pain at the ankle, u started getting tired. U still don't know whether there is poison started moving nearer to your heart. U keep on walking. People might comment about your determination, praising your perseverance. Mean time u getting lesser water supply. U thought there is water flowing from the mountain, but u found nothing, and u started getting worried because something doesn't happen as u wish.

Second night, you're sleeping. woke up from a nightmare, u couldn't find your backpack. Now u lost something that always belong to u, your map, your water bottle, your torchlight, your dslr, your apple. despite staring at the crime scene which u don't know who committed, u keep on moving. Now you are a climber, an unlucky climber.

After a day of walking and a fasting day, u think of giving up. Fortunately u found a tree with rambutans, but only a little were already ripen. Immediately plucked some of them, ants surrounded your hands. u don't care, keep on eating. After filling up the empty stomach, your spirit was back. U ran. U wanted to fulfill your dream as early as possible, before you get hungry again, before anything worse happen again. Now the worst thing happen. U started feeling ache in your stomach, and of course the wound at the ankle. U keep on running, because u can see u almost reach the end of the jungle.

Yes, U came out from the jungle. but u left nothing but a pair of hands and limbs.
Now u realize u out of oxygen supply. U spared a mini oxygen can in the backpack before u start, now u lost it. The peak seems so near to u than at the foot, yet there's still a long journey. No oxygen tank, no water, no downpour, no shelter, no nothing.
Yes, u have a dream.
Now u still dare to dream?
U got scars and wounds at legs and arms.
U got a thirsty throat. no leeway.

now u rather choose not to have that dream before u start the journey.

now u rather move to the highest cliff, jump into the deepest valley. before thirst drives u crazy.

sometimes people don't realize
that escaping could also be the one of the best way to solve problem
