Dreams.

The dreams one have may not be the same as someone who lives in poverty riddled city or village, or someone who doesn’t have the best home life, but dreams are significant to one’s world and their life. One may dream for everything they never had and always wanted like that new bike, or the toy car set they have had their eyes on for months, but dreams can be for something else as well. Dreams may be personal. Dreaming for that one girl to come back, the girl you thought was a keeper; dreaming for the cancer to leave your grandmother, who has been supporting you your whole life. Sometimes dreaming gives you a false reality of comfort—when you know inside nothing will happen—it makes not having what you want tolerable. When a person dreams, it shows what they truly want for themselves. One who is known to be a greedy person may be dreaming for more friends not money like everyone thinks, because most don’t share their problems. One of the reasons someone could be a dreamer is they’re in denial about something effecting their life. Although only dreaming and nothing else may effect one in a bad way because nothing will happen if a person just dreams and has no actual effort in succeeding for what they really want. Another type of dreamer may be the youth. Youth are more un-aware of the life as we know it, therefore have less things to worry about, which conjures  up more abstract dreams. People who are past their prime and in their older years may be the opposite of the youth, thy may dream for a couple more years on their life, or maybe even Elvis to come back to life. Overall dreaming is for everyone. Whether your young or your old, you can still dream. You just have to have a certain ignorance when your dreams don’t come true, or get up and keep trying.

Let it go.

This summer had its ups and definitely is downs. It was packed with excitement and adrenaline. One of the highlights of my summer was gong to see my Father and going fishing with him. When we are out fishing we have plenty time to catch up since I don’t see him much. I almost enjoy that more then anything, but the thrill of fishing is amazing. We were fishing for sturgeon, and soon enough I hooked a big one which was 6’4 to be exact. It was like trying to reel in a small car, and to make it more difficult the fish was swimming with the current so I was reeling in against it. Eventually the fish was tired enough for us to bring him in the boat, and snap a couple pictures. The fish was hard to let go, because I caught it and wanted to keep him, but I couldn’t. Sturgeon are endangered species so it is illegal to keep them. The fish wasn’t as hard to let go as this girl I met. Her name is Jerri and she is from Spain. The day after I met her it felt like I knew her for weeks, because we got along so well. I started getting serious with her, but that changed when she told me she was leaving back to Spain when the summer is over. Just like the fish I thought I had a keeper, but now I have to let her go. I have gotten over the fact that she is gone, but still not the fact she might not come back. Other then the harsh reality check there was a lesson learned. This summer has taught me that you cant take anything for granted. Whether it be a fish, or a girl. The reason is what ever your taking for granted could be gone in an instant, and you may have some regrets of anything you could have or should have done. Which I don’t because I had fun with my girl before she left, and I had fun with that sturgeon.
