Hey Now, Hey Now...

This is what dreams are made of! :D
Thank you Lizzie McGuire.

Inspiration #2. There is so much potential in daydreaming. Have you ever had a complete conversation with 
someone in your head, and then went back and did it again this time saying different things? I've been doing it all the time! I've been working a lot this summer which has given me ample time to think about the people in my life and everything I want the future to be. I'm in the awkward post high school graduate - pre college student stage where I'm old enough to claim responsibility for all of my mistakes, but not quite old enough to be considered a responsible adult. It's a rough transition! So this summer I've spent a lot of time reflecting on the amazing friendships I've enjoyed over the last 17 years, and then even more time thinking about all the potential people I will meet and college, and what type of person I want to be and who I want to be friends with and well, you get the point. :)

So this brings me back to daydreaming. I've thought so much about how my life is going to change and created so many fictional characters to fill my future, and the second I step into the college scene, all of the things I think college is going to be is going to change and all of those fictional characters will be left in the dust as I make new friends.

Why do people daydream then?! I don't know! I just know I do, and most often times, those dreams of what I expect the future to be give me the excitement I need to accept that life changes. I love dreaming. And I love the contrast of dreams and the thoughts you actually take seriously.

And hey. Why not dream up the perfect man to take you on perfect dates while you're cleaning carpets and folding laundry? It sure makes work more interesting. :):)

Happy dreaming!

P.S. Here is an AWESOME article about the benefits of daydreaming.
