An Open Letter From A Dreamer

It keeps my outlook on life very positive

I often times catch myself dreaming about the life I could and may possibly have. I grew up knowing that the sky is the limit for anything and everything that I set my heart and mind out to do. I grew up listening to my grandparent's traveling stories. I grew up watching my parents love each other. I grew up knowing that I wanted to make a difference in this world. I grew up knowing that I am and will always be a dreamer.

I dream about my future. My future home, my future job, my future pet(s), my future family, and more. I wish and hope that the choices I'm making right now in life will allow me to have a happy future. I dream about the city/town that I'm going to live in. I dream about the state I'll be living in, east coast?...west coast?...central?...north?...south?...will I even be in the United States? I dream about all of the little details.

I dream about my future because I often times find myself feeling stuck like I'm in a rut. I find myself feeling more negative and sad than how I want to feel. I start comparing my life to others, finding myself jealous when it isn't necessary. There are so many places to travel, things to experience. about my future makes me excited and much more positive because there are so many opportunities available for me and for everyone.

"I'm not much of a math and science guy. I spent most of my time in school daydreaming and managed to turn it into a living." -George Lucas

I make lists to keep myself excited. Lists of cities with little details about them. Lists of specific dog breeds and names for the dog. Lists of states that follow my political views (not that that would affect my decision on where to live, it's just for reference). Lists of names for my future children. Lists of places I want to visit. Lists of National Parks I need to visit. Lists of people I hope to meet. Lists of concerts I want to attend. Lists going on forever and ever about my future and my goals for myself.

I'm a dreamer, I like to keep myself on my toes. Dreaming is a huge part of my life, getting excited about the things to come. Thinking about new people, new places, and new things keeps my happiness level high, along with my positivity.

We live in a world where we can be shut down or rejected for almost anything. Negativity isn't portrayed while I dream, only happiness, light, and positivity are. I dream to remind myself that certain things are temporary. Bad days/weeks/months are only temporary and can be changed with a different mindset.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
