You might say, I'm a dreamer.

Today, fall asleep. Today, take a nap and dream about your entire life in a flashback type of style. Dream about your first bike, and the day your sister popped the screen out of your window to play "drive-through" with you and your big brother. Dream about your mother taking you to your first musuem and being in awe of the larger than life figures that stood as sky scrapers around you. Stop and look at them. Dream about your first lie and the way it made your tummy feel a little different than it had before. Dream about your first love, and your first heart ache. Dream about your first day of high school as that photograph of the pretty girls with blonde hair on the lacrosse team freezes in your brain for a split second. Go back to the day that you were dissapointed for the first time. embrace with your whole self what that felt like. Dream about what it would be like had you made another choice, taken another route. Dream about your first real friend. Dream about your regrets and your accomplishments. Dream about the first time you broke a 30 second 50 meter freestyle on your swim team. Dream about the sun on your skin and the how the water felt rushing past you on the day you were so angry and swam out into the ocean untill you couldn't do anything but just float... Breath it in and remember how it made you feel so very small, yet not insignifigant. Dream about a life of beauty as the colors flash and replay like an old film reel in your mind. Then........ open your eyes, take a deep breath, and today, change your life to what you want to see the next time you fall asleep and dream.
