Looking back, I see that I didn't really specify how this blog was going to work in my last post. I apologize. My goal is to publish at least one post a day, not necessarily about anything, just generally what I'm thinking and doing. The possibility of someone actually reading this is quite low, and frankly, I'm okay with that.
A dream state is often something people talk about when someone is in a coma, or unwell, or maybe in a horror movie, but to me, a dream state is when you just can't keep your thoughts from floating away. I often find myself in this state, day after day. Today seems to be one of those days. I believe that we, as humans, never stop dreaming, no matter how unlikely or improbable those dreams may be. And if your dreams don't scare you, even just a little, they aren't big enough.
If you don't believe in your dreams, who's left to believe in them?

Today, I seem to be dreaming about many things. Although my dreams constantly vary from meeting famous people to falling in love, one dream always remains; I have a longing for adventure, one that will never be nourished or fulfilled. The need to see the world, take risks, put myself out there...that's one dream that--no matter what stands in my way--I will accomplish. I dream of paradise. Of true love. Of genuine smiles and real laughs. And especially of fairytale endings. Because if you don't believe in a happy ending, then it will never come. But, my dear, don't focus on the ending. Because the ending means it's over. And if you wait so long for the ending, you'll miss the whole middle. So maybe it's not about the ending; maybe it's about the story.
