Taking Chances On Dreams.

So, there is nothing really particular on my mind right now. But dreams. I have some of the craziest dreams ever. Not like, I am sleeping and dreaming, kind of dreams. But the kind that you just think up. Like, oh, my dream is to be a singer. I want to be a firefighter. Or a police officer. Lately, I have realized that I am a big ol' dreamer.

Too many people these days lose sight of their dreams. When you are little, it is so easy to have a big dream. But then people and reality crush them. I always see little girls who just want to be princess'. But then someone tells them, "Oh honey. You aren't really a princess." Then you see the gleam in their eyes diminish. Because all they really wanted to be...was a princess. Or little boys who want to be super heros. Who run around in their capes and just want to save the world, because that is just what super heros do. But then they are told, "There is no such thing as a super hero! Grow UP! Be a man. Not a child." And that little sparkle. The one that you love to see, oh so much, is gone. And it makes me sad.

People dream. And those dreams are what created this country in the first place. Those dreams are what created everything that we have right now. Someone thought that they can do it. So they did. And to take that away from children is down right horrible. Yes, in reality there aren't really super heros. And in reality there aren't very many "real" princess'. But do you really want to see that sparkle go away. The one where it shows their hearts desires. That love in their eyes. The one that says, "HEY! I just want to know that I am important!" Everyone deserves to have a dream. Even if reality says that it just will never happen. Everyone deserves it. To have that desire. To have the sparkle in their eye. And I just love to dream.

I think I should be an entrepreneur. Or something. I have so many thoughts. So many crazy ideas. And they make me happy. To just think of it on the spot. To have this crazy dream to open my own shop and be creative. To maybe one day design my own wedding dress. To sing in front of an audience on a big stage. I have LOTS of dreams. And yes there are SO jumbled in my mind that I don't even know where to go with them. But it's SO much fun to think about. One of my favorite things to dream about is weddings, due to a friend of mine getting married soon.

I want to design my own dress. I want my colors to be dark purple and a light lime green. I want everything to be simple but elegant and maybe a little bit of modern vintage thrown in somewhere. I see myself in a beautiful hillside with a gorgeous backdrop and a cross behind us. With everyone important around me. You look one side and you see my family and friends, you look on the other side and you see my fiances family and his friends. And then just the pure love in our eyes when we say "I do." Then you go to the reception. Where everything will be translated beautifully. All of the namecards will be on cupcakes in a jar. And there will be this 2 maybe 3 layer cake as the wedding cake. We will have our first dance on a wooden dancefloor under the stars to the song, "Beloved" by Tenth Avenue North. And everything will be perfect. Simple, elegant, and beautiful. It's my dream.

Or really, A dream. I have too many to count. And I think that everyone should dream. Everyone should take chances on their dreams. Because the moment you lose sight of your dreams. The moment you lose that sparkle. Is the moment that you lose yourself. Because it's your heart. Your dreams are in your heart. Your dreams come from your heart. And I just wish that everyone could just keep their dreams.

Keep that childlike quality to yourself. Because it keeps you alive. Be an adult, but be a child at heart.

Me personally. I love being a kid. I love Disney. And I love coloring in coloring books. I love bubble wands and playing outside. I love to play tether ball. And I love to just play with dogs. I love to sing silly songs and worship in the woods. I love staring at the stars and getting my breath taken away by the awesome expanse of beauty laid out before me. I love, love, and everything that love comes with. I love exploring God's creation and being astounded.

I love being a child. Because it helps me appreciate things more. To see things in a way that most don't see. And it's a shame because we all deserve to be able to do that. Don't let anyone take your youth away from you by saying, "Grow up! You need to see reality and what it is." The reality is, that you can still be an adult and make grown-up decisions and have a childs heart. It's probably one of the most beautiful things ever. The innocence in children. It makes me happy.

God Bless.
