Catching Dreams and Chasing Butterflies.

First of all I would like to say that I like this week's topic, It really got me thinking.

As a child I had the mind-set that anything at all was possible and the confidence to prove this to anyone. Then I began thinking of some of my childhood dreams...

The first of my dreams that I can remember was my dream of being an artist. From an early age, I have always been fascinated with drawing, writing, singing, painting, and pretty much anything to do with creativity.
The next dream I can remember was my dream of becoming a dolphin trainer. Dolphins were and still are, my favorite animal. I always wanted to see the ocean one day, and last May I finally got to do so. Although I highly doubt I will ever be a dolphin trainer, one day I would like to become SCUBA certified.
Another of my childhood dreams was to be a musician and to sing in front of crowds. I now have terrible stage fright. But I still love to sing. Mostly in the shower or when i'm alone in my car, and I'll keep it at that for now.
I have always wanted to travel, so this brings me to my next dream of traveling the world. I want to see things that most people never get the chance to see and experience things most people don't, and finally encounter people that most won't. I am a writer and have been for as long as I can recall. As I travel the world, I want to write about my travels and someday share them with a family of my own.
Which leads me to one of my more recent dreams of becoming a published author. As I said previously, writing is a large component in my life and one of my favorite things to do in my free time.
The list could go on but to name a few more, I want to make a difference, make my parents proud, find joy in life, and someday hopefully become a mother as incredible as my own. As the years have passed, my dreams have obviously evolved and have become somewhat more realistic. Although those dreams of becoming a dolphin trainer or a proffessional musician may never happen, bits and pieces of those dreams still desire to be lived inside me today. So for now, I will keep doodling in the corners of my paper, singing in my car, and chasing my dreams!

Thnks for reading all!
