Dreams

It's ironic because this blog is titled "Dream Dreams" yet I almost never dream. Which makes it sort of interesting why that was the name I chose several months ago. And thinking about it, I guess it's because I believe in people dreaming up the things they want most, and then going after them in real life. One of the very smartest girls I know was in my AP Gov class senior year and her ability to organize her time and absorb knowledge was insane to me. Yet, now continuing on to college, all she wants to do is become a ballerina. And that is exactly what she is going to do. I love that more than anything. She could do whatever she wanted, make loads of money, and work to a high up position in some company, and become extremely successful to the world's standards, but what value would that bring her? Sure she would have stability and a comfortable living, but what would that be worth if she hated what she did and couldn't have her imagination and creativity run free? I admire her, and so many others like her, so much for following their dreams and creating a life that will bring them so much joy. I hope I have the ability to do what I love for a living and that when it came down to it, that I'd choose to be poor doing the thing I love then well off doing something I don't have a passion for. Because, really, who is the loser in that situation? The one that is spending each day doing what they love or the one spending every day doing something they dislike in order to "live life" a few days a year on vacation or whatever it may be.

I know it's not possible for everyone, but I sure hope I can find a way to do what I love for the rest of my life.
