dreamer.

be a dreamer.

dreams are the backbone to life-

without dreams, goals and aspirations our life would be empty.

so, dream away.

make life count by following your dreams;

you'll then live with no {or fewer} regrets. 

it's been a dream of mine, to be a ballerina, since i can remember.

{tutus, the color pink, performing, bouquet of roses... the whole enchilada.}

i followed my dream, when those have told me to stop.

the moments when i'm performing, make me feel like i'm actually in a dream.

my parents, and now lovebird, have always supported this dream of mine.

i suddenly feel like it's not a dream anymore; but rather real life.

i'm truly living a dream.

my heart is overjoyed knowing i get to perform the nutcracker all month long.

yes, this involves the tutus, the pointe shoes, the color pink in all it's glory...

but, the thing that excites me the most, is knowing that 

i have followed this dream.

a dream that so long ago felt so unattainable.

also, that i get to share the stage with those who have the same dream,

as well as, share this dream of mine to those who come to watch.

i'm especially grateful for this dream, during this season of giving. 

quite ironic that, the nutcracker is based off of clara's dream-

a dream so magical and full of fantasy.

and that's when it hit me, that 

my life as a ballerina is just as magical.

miss you most of all today.

i am missing this little man today.

{okay he's not that little- he towers over me.}

but he is my little brother. 

he's already been gone a whole 11 days. 

missionary time goes extremely slow and quick all at the same time.

it's bizarre.

wanna know what else is bizarre?

my burning desire to move right now.

move far away, to a new place.

i'm not unhappy here. in fact, i love our little home.

but, i have this crazy want to move cities, states or even countries. 

i bug lovebird with my fantasizing every day.

that's probably because i am beginning to think my dreams 

of moving are going to come true.

lovebird just laughs.

he tells me i want too many things.

which, i do.

that comes with a "go-getter" personality. 

although it doesn't seem soon enough,

we are bound to move in the next year or two-

due to the next chapter in our lives. 

i suppose for now i'll keep dreaming.

alongside missing my little brother dearly. 

happy weekend to my lovely followers. 

just some ideas:

 a place like this down by the beach. {carmel, california.} 

or a little romantic apartment in beautiful italy.

or i would love to live in a little old fashioned city like this.

if i could convince lovebird, we'd live in a cottage. 

or i'd even be happy in an upbeat crammed studio in a big city.

i clearly just want to move. 

dreams and rings

dreaming. 
isn't it crazy? absolutely nuts?
dreams are unreal. 


i woke up today from an intense, somewhat horrifying, dream involving the past and future.
i ran into find lovebird studying, at the crack of dawn, to make certain my dream wasn't real after all.
he walked me back to bed and tucked me in.


however, 
i put my wedding ring back on. 
{i always take it off before bed}
they told me not to sleep with my ring on... but why? DO YOU?


it seems as though my dreams of the past don't creep in when i have it
wrapped around my little finger. 
so i have noticed that, when waking from a bad dream, i don't hesitate to put it right back on.
lovebird came up with this idea. consider him genius.


...and consider me crazy or superstitious.... because i'm both. 


just an observation. worth posting about.
