“Montage of a Dream Deferred ”
— Langston Hughes

Simplified Meaning:
Sometimes, when people have dreams or goals, they don't always get to achieve them when they want. These dreams are put on hold because of different challenges or problems that come up. For example, if someone wants to start a bakery but doesn't have enough money or time, they might have to wait. This waiting can cause frustration and sadness because their dream feels out of reach. It’s important to recognize these moments and find ways to stay motivated and not give up. By staying hopeful and patient, everyone can keep moving toward their dreams, even if they have to wait a bit longer.
