Dreams And Imaginations

Basically, I love space and the future.

Dreams And Imaginations

You ever look up at night into a clear navy sky? Stars upon stars upon the backdrop of a never-ending abyss of darkness. We can only see so far into it, but just knowing that it continues forever excites me.

Now I don't know about you, but I would have loved to have existed in a time of "Star Wars", but without the wars. A time like "Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets",where humans and aliens of many forms travel the galaxies, instead of just traveling in cars on roads on our Mother Earth. A time like one of my favorite sci-fi futuristic films, "Passengers". To exist on the Starship Avalon going to colonize a new planet, I would be ecstatic!

If you ask me, there is no way that we are the only planet with life. There is no way that we are the only galaxy, universe, or solar system that is out there. To be able to interact with a new life form would be so fascinating! As long as it's a friendly encounter, that is.

I am enthralled by the idea of traveling galaxies and exploring different planets! I get sad when I realize that leisurely space travel will most likely not be a thing in my lifetime.

This is something that not many people know about me, but I am starting to express this side of me a bit more. I just recently started to think about why I am so interested in the future, space travel, and such things. I have concluded that I love the idea so much because it is so new.

It hasn't happened yet, and it can be written in various ways. The things we could learn about humans, life, the meaning of existence, and the space that surrounds us is infinite.

I know I am painting the happy, positive, Hollywood picture of what the future could look like, but why can't it be that way? I don't understand when people are skeptical of life forms beyond Earth. Now, this is all just my opinion, and it is something I enjoy to think about. I love getting into long conversations about these hypothetical things.

It is amazing as a human to have the capacity to imagine and dream about something as fleeting as the future. What thoughts and dreams do you revel in?

I have one last thing to say. If you haven't seen the end of the first "Men In Black"movie, then do so immediately! It will blow your mind!

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.
