On Optimism…
Today, I am feeling optimistic. I am feeling uplifted, I am feeling hopeful, and I have a light heart.
I had a dream last night that I was part of a large group of adopted kids who were being treated like slaves by our “mother”. One of my brothers was a huge black dragon called Virnesh. I talked to him and even helped him hide an accidental murder of one of our overseers. We hatched a plan to escape, but I woke up before we escaped.
Having a dragon for a brother would be excellent. 🙂
Either way, I woke up this morning feeling motivated and excited for the future. I have been thinking seriously about writing a fantasy novel. I love writing, it is very fun to do, and I love letting people read the crazy things that come from my mind.
To be fair, the stuff that I write about isn’t usually as odd as my dreams, but I will admit that many of my writings are based on things I have dreamed about.
I am a dreamer.
I have written many of my songs in dreams and woke up just to transcribe them. I have dreamed about many situations before they happen and known what to do when they did happen. I have dreamed of past and future lives, of other universes, of myself as I wish to be.
I create because I dream.
I do the things I do because I want to make those dreams that inspire me into realities that empower me.
What are your dreams?
