At times we go through very bleak period in life for a prolonged time. Then when it is not in your hands to turn around life, one has to go through the rough path too. It is during one such bleak period somebody told me O! Don't build castles in the air! Well, I did not pay heed to the remark but went on to dream and it did me good and this is how I felt....
Castles in the air I build castles for a living Castles in the air for me It keeps me going when I am down The smile on my face it is So well I carry on gladly Dazzling in its bright groove My dreams see no end I build castles for a living Castles in air for me It makes me cheerful by the day I share my joy with all It makes my sense bright and gay sweet visions in the castle i see Drives anxiety and despair away pains and struggles no more harsh realities disappear I build castles for a living Castles in the air for me No one envies my bounty For none can see my castle It is my domain, I enjoy The splendour of its sparkle To reign supreme in this world of mine of glamour and power I build castles for a living Castles in the air for me… Its bright lights are shining Sweet life has found a meaning It is my world I own for me which will see me through the hard days my dream of a life the way I want it to be I know It will be fine one day I keep my mind intact learn to bear troubles with a smile Wear the stoic armour of strength and belief I quietly waded through While I built castles for a living Castles in the air for me No longer drifting I go See a purpose in life for me Sorrows melt in thin air The instant I get carried away in my castles hale and hearty i be

Keep building the castles. Hopefully you can also build some bridges for travel to faraway lands.

Just be sure to build the castle on a solid reasoning rather than seashore sand, and you'll get along just fine.

Yes! Beautifully done and truthfully stated. Never mind the naysayers, build your castles and enjoy the fruits of your labors. Besides, if we fail to build our own castles then how on earth can we recognize it when it appears for real.
