For as long as I can remember, I have been a dreamer. You know, that person that forgets all about what is realistic, and cares only about dreams. Some people may say that living in a dream or having dreams is silly or dumb, but I feel as though it is a necessity. You need to have them to keep you going. Say you're having an off day and nothing is going your way. You can disappear to your 'happy place' and just live in your so called make-believe world, at least for a little while.
Now, I'm not talking about dreams you have while sleeping, although those are pretty cool. I'm talking about daydreams. I was the biggest daydreamer while I was in school, and I obviously still am. I dream about getting the phone call saying I secured an interview or a job. I dream about traveling to different places around the world. And a dream that I have been having incredibly often is that of moving to New York City.
Ever since I first traveled to New York when I was in 10th grade, I always dreamed of living there. I don't know why, but every time I go there, I just feel as though I'm already home. Maybe because it's exciting and always has something going on. A new adventure around every corner, if you will.
Many studies have been done on why people have dreams, but I haven't really found any concrete evidence. Maybe we dream of a different life/lifestyle because we are bored with our own. I'm almost positive that's why I dream. I mean, after you work at TGI Friday's for almost 4 years doing the same thing day in and day out, it gets pretty old. It's nice to have a little fantasy to escape to, to keep you motivated and going. Who knows, maybe I will find a job in New York someday and I'll finally be able to make my dream come true, but until then, I'll be seeing the city in my day dreams while standing at my hostess stand.
Now, I'm going to attempt to make this blog interactive, just to spice things up a bit! So readers, what are some different dreams that you have?! Please feel free to share. See you all again soon!
