Dream Bankruptcy
I read a beautiful term: dream bankruptcy. I liked it, especially as I read the description of when someone may want to declare dream bankruptcy: “The person has become so attached to their dream that they fail to adapt, even when reality provides evidence that the dream isn’t workable.”
The article explains it is less about the dream and instead looks at “the impact a dream has on our day-to-day behavior.”
I thought it was a massively helpful way of looking at paths not followed through to their ends, what comes next, and how the future may look after declaring dream bankruptcy.

What an interesting term! I like the definition, because it applies to so many things. It makes me think about bankruptcy, of not having enough funds to the point that you have to make a declaration, an emptying of your accounts, emotionally speaking.
