“What happens to a dream deferred? Does it explode?”
— Langston Hughes

Simplified Meaning:
When someone puts off their dreams or goals for too long, it can have negative effects. Imagine you really want to travel the world, but you keep delaying it because of work or other responsibilities. Over time, this unfulfilled desire might make you feel frustrated or even angry. It’s like holding in a lot of pressure, and eventually, it might come out in a burst, causing stress or unhappiness. Just as a dream kept inside can build up emotions, it’s important to take steps towards your goals, even if they are small ones. By working on your dreams bit by bit, you can avoid the buildup of negative feelings and live a more content life.
