"¿Qué pasa con un sueño postergado? ¿Se seca como una pasa al sol?"

Langston Hughes

Simplified Meaning:

When you put off or ignore your dreams and goals, it can have negative effects. Imagine you have a big dream, like wanting to travel the world or start your own business. If you keep delaying it and never take steps to make it come true, it can start to feel less exciting and important over time, just like a grape that dries up in the sun and turns into a raisin. This quote is telling us that our dreams need attention and effort. Otherwise, they will lose their energy and might even disappear. For example, think about a kid who wants to be a musician but never practices. Over time, this dream might not feel as strong, and the person might eventually give up on it. So, it’s important to take action and work towards your dreams; otherwise, they might fade away.
