I've been thinking a lot lately about where my life is going. I have no idea what I want to do when I grow up. There's so much that is uncertain. I have big dreams. I want my life to be incredible. Do I really HAVE to be practical? Then there's times where I dare to dream... I think big. I have passion. There's hope that I CAN be everything I dream of. But then, sometimes those dreams get squished, and that's sad. I'm not trying to be dramatic, but sometimes the wind gets taken out of my sails. Dreams are impractical. Dreams are for dreamers.
But, what if I WANT to be a dreamer?! What if life really COULD be what I imagine? So, sometimes I just try to put some wind back in my sails because I can choose that. One of my favorite quotes from Shakespeare is in the Tempest: "We are such stuff as dreams are made on." Aren't we, though? A little encouragement from Henry David Thoreau: "Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you imagined." It's hard, but I intend to.
