Day 5- my dream

Hey dream... it's me. :) I'm still trying to figure you out... what I want to do with my life, how i want things to run. I know not all of them will turn out, and I definitely know not everyone will support my dreams, but they are worth fighting for. I wish everyone could see that. I wish everyone fought for their dreams, too. I hope I am never one of those wash-out people who gives up because they aren't twenty anymore. My dreams are worth all of it. I can handle snide looks and digging my dreams out of the trash and getting up at three in the morning to buy tickets to London or Paris or wherever the heck I'm going next. It's all worth it.

I want to travel the world. That's what I really want to do. But I don't want to wait until retirement. I want to save money up now, I want to get a job now, so that I can make it happen as soon as I'm out of my tiny little high school. Honestly, nobody's ever heard of this place, and even though I love it here, it's not where I want to spend the rest of my life.

My parents don't support you all that much either. I guess I understand that, they don't want thier only kid to grow up and leave them, but it makes it that much harder when the two people who are support you the most aren't there for you. It hurts. It makes me question my dreams, and that's not something I can afford to do.

That's one of the reasons I'm so grateful to my friends, they all have crazy dreams too. We get it. I don't know if adults have just given up on dreams, or if they tried and failed, or what, but I don't want to end up like them. Our lives aren't bad, but they aren't spectacular, either, and life is worth living spectacularly.

I'm doing my best to make you come true, dreams. Wait a bit, stay around, I'll be there soon. If I'm going to live, I'm going to live for everything it's worth, I'm going to make it count before I go to meet my maker.

I'm going to dream.
