What do you do when all your dreams come true?

A while ago I was offered what I thought was the position of my dreams. A chance to study chilid fish in the African lakes... one catch I had to relocate to Grahamstown for about 8 years while I completed a masters and PhD. This is what what came out of that experience.

The thing about dreams is that deep down one never expects them to come true and if they do you never expect it to be a hard decision to follow them. But life is funny cause dreams are born in your mind and the half world between fantasy and reality. While you live on earth. A world of responsibility and practicality. A world of plans and people. If following your dreams means everything else changes, is it still your dream? Do you take the adventure, swallow your fears and forgo your plans to jump right in?Will you always regret it if you don't? And what of those dreams you sacrifice to make it happen? Do they fade away or will you always wonder what if? You never expect when all your dreams come true to be wondering what to do...
