I may still not know what I want to be when I grow up, but I do know that someday I want to live in a house filled with my books and travel souvenirs. And the walls that aren’t covered in bookshelves will be covered with photos of my family and friends. When I leave the house I will be going to a job I love, and ill return to a person I love. So, that’s the dream im working on.
Last night
I had a dream that I transferred to another school. I can’t remember the name or even if it was a real school, but I remember trying to get people to show me around and tell me about the area. Then I realized that I was about to graduate and got really upset that I wasn’t going to get my degree from UNC anymore.

You may say I’m a dreamer
but I’m not the only one
I hope some day you’ll join us
And the world will live as one
Just a dog? Porthos dreams of being a bear, and you want to shatter those dreams by saying he’s just a dog? What a horrible candle-snuffing word. That’s like saying, He can’t climb that mountain, he’s just a man, or That’s not a diamond, it’s just a rock. Just.
Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.
I think we dream so we don’t have to be apart so long. If we’re in each other’s dreams, we can play together all night.
