Dreams

Today, as any other day, is abnormally normal. 

Wake up, scroll through social media. Wonder what life will bring, get up, have breakfast, so on my merry way. It's just another one of those radically brilliant mid-mornings, where the sun is shining brighter than usual, and you feel the need to open the curtains so as to describe some sort of poetic reference to freedom. I become lost in my own mind, my world. "Oh, the places you'll go!" Dr. Seuss, I'm not sure if you meant physically or mentally, because my dreams justify both! Having traveled to Italy last summer, it made me realize that the world is so large, but so relatively small. The concept of how we are all interconnected (like dreams) is almost unimaginable. Crazy am I to doze off to a far away land, where I know what life will bring me. Play dress up, and live in a home with comfortable income, a happy marriage, and well behaved dogs (children... possibly). It's almost like a check list that my brain goes through... "School, check. Job, check. Happiness, un-checked." What am I seeking for?! Where is my brain taking me!!! Back into my cosmic reality, where I awake, and find myself stuck in suburban America. But it is a parallel universe where suburbs are really the ghettos of our complacent and settling lifestyles. The location where the story for "Revolutionary Road" should have been written. Where we were born and where we shall die. Dreams takes us away... let us wander. There is an attraction towards wandering, a sense of hope is ignited to the soul. We don't have to be stuck in one place forever, as long as we stay fruitful in our imagination.

Today, as any other day, is abnormally normal.
