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.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
