I have said it before and I will say it again, I am a dreamer. Dreaming is the best thing I feel I can do for myself. It is the porthole to my future, and it is how I discover my world. In my short twenty years of life, I have had some big dreams. Some of these dreams seemed outlandish, and at times, they seemed too far out of reach to me. Ever since I can remember when I was little, watching Madeline, the cartoon, I wanted to see the Eiffel Tower. In the back of my mind, this would be another pipe dream that every little girl has, but my dream became my reality. Because of this moment, when this huge dream came true, my curiosity and desires to see more places and do more things grew immensely. Now it seems for every item I cross off of my, once short, bucket list, a few more items are added. I want to see the world. I want to live a life with no regrets. I want to be adventurous. Life is way too short to live and never dream. Dreaming leads the soul to new places and makes the heart yearn for places it has never been before. I feel dreaming has allowed me to become a free-spirit who wants to see as many places as possible and discover a new piece of myself with each new place. As I enter a new chapter in my life, I am becoming a different person, I think for the better. I have a new perspective on life and I view things from a more mature angle. Dreams provide me the opportunity to explore and push me to reach new successes. I always knew I had some lofty goals to reach, but through dreaming, I realize my goals will not be what I want them to be if I do not enjoy the journey to achieve them. Sure, some days I walk around with my head in the clouds thinking about what my next adventure will be, or I am thinking about what my future will look like, but this is my therapeutic process for living life. Being a college student in the middle of earning a Bachelor’s degree can be stressful, to say the least, but taking some time out of my busy schedule to gaze into dreamland does my heart well. Dreams keep the days fresh and having dreams always creates something to look forward to. Having countdowns to the next adventure keeps a smile on my face. I enjoy the wait, though, because waiting for a great adventure and a dream to come true, makes it that much sweeter. It makes me so happy to know I will be spending my days living life to the fullest and waiting for my next dream to come true. Somewhere over the rainbow, there are still dreams to be had.

A wise person once said to me that the more you try to do the more you get done. I like to apply it to all my endeavors and adventures in life. Never stop dreaming!
