Daydreaming

I’m a dreamer, and I’m not ashamed to admit it. I’ve always been one, for as long as I can remember. Daydreaming is what I’m referring to, not those sleep time fictional visuals that no one can seem to explain. Usually, I’m just dreaming about the future, trying to imagine what my life will be like at some point in time down the road, or after a specific event. I’m an optimist, so all of my daydreaming tends to paint a rosy future with a successful conclusion. I learned long ago that worrying, or envisioning a not-so-enjoyable future, is neither productive nor healthy. If you are a dreamer, come in, the stories are about to start. I’ll share some of my dreams with you as long as you are willing to reciprocate. Together, we can possibly turn our dreams into reality.
