It's true. On my first grade report card my teacher wrote "she's a day dreamer". It's still true today. I live in my head because I can't live in reality how and where I want to live. Circumstances have worked to put me in a place where I have been all of my life. I haven't been brave enough to change them. I recently found this quote: "This is your world; shape it or someone else will." I need to reshape my world.
If I'm lucky, I have another fifteen or twenty years left to live before I am too old to change things. So, I feel like I have to do it now. I've been places where I felt I belong. I've been with people with whom I feel like I belong. Circumstances have kept me away from them.
How do you change something so basic? How do you make dreams come true? That's what I'm thinking about now.
are you thinking of moving?
ReplyDeleteI want to move to Hawaii, but I haven't convinced my husband... yet.
ReplyDeleteI know EXACTLY what you mean!!I really think we would get on so well. Funny thing is due to circumstances I am back living in the area in which I grew up - somewhere I was desperate to leave - circumstating factors are house affordability, close to both my husband's and my work and our aging parents.
ReplyDeleteAll the best with the Hawaii dream.
