But I also dreamed of doing other things. Some of which included being a famous author, starring on Broadway, teaching 2nd grade, and being a motivational speaker.
But I grew up. That's a lie. I got older. I have checked that #1 off my list--4 times. Or rather, I am in the midst of checking it off. But I am a dreamer, and sometimes I still get lost in what else I want to become.
My list has changed a little since I was younger. I still want to be a writer, but not in the way I thought. I have written over 20 starts to fiction novels, but the thought of finishing them sounds like a nightmare. I'll have to keep my writing short. I want to write things that inspire people. I want to write things that make people happy; that helps them forget their life worries.
I also dream of sitting on a dark stage with a warm spotlight on me and my grand piano as I play all of my favorite classics. For me, playing piano creates so much emotion. And I thrive on emotion! Oh- I could play piano all day long!
I never thought a dream of mine would be wanting to run a race in every US state. I'm still not sure wear this dream stems from. Running has only been a part of my life for less than a year. And I have never been a big traveler. But I have deeply fallen in love with running, especially when I get to enjoy Mother Nature. It helps bring my emotions (there's that word again) to the surface and analyze myself at that stage in life.
Sometimes these dreams seem too far-fetched. Sometimes they seem just barely out of my reach. Maybe, like my child-hood dreams, these ones will change one day too. If so, should I try harder to accomplish them? Or should I be content with throwing them out into the universe not knowing where they might end up? I guess only time will tell. The important thing is that I find happiness through it all.
