First of all...
Happy New Year everyone!
Let this year be better than all your previous ones put together.
It's currently 12 am in India and I am super glad that I woke up just in time to post this one.
So, like you might or might not know, this blog was something I started out of boredom during one holiday.
Now, it's become quite a passion for me and I'm very glad that people show appreciation for my writing.
Back to what I want to say.
I'm a dreamer.
I like to dream about my future,
about my life,
about my favourite on- screen pairings in my favourite TV shows,
about the latest book I've read,
about the movies I've watched,
about anything that makes me feel all fuzzy and cozy inside.
Everyone dreams, it's like the single most common thing every human has other than the fact that we all originated from a single- celled organism billions and billions of years ago.
Some dream of the success they're going to achieve in the near or far future.
Some dream about their secret love, actual love, non- existent love, future love, something like that.
Some dream about events that are going to take place in the near future (like meeting up with close friends after a LONG time).
Some just dream meaningless stuff.
And some dream that their worst nemesis just gets a transfer to another school. (Admit it, you've had that thought some time or the other.)
And some extra great people dream about the world and how to make it a better place and about their school subjects. (I'm sure I am one of them, sometimes.)
But then, everyone just dreams about something or the other.
Before you think that I'm some sort of weirdo to talk so much and still make some sort of sense, I'll tell you this.
I'm no different than your average fifteen year old girl from India.
I have almost the same wishes and expectations as you might.
And trust me, Santa aka Parents didn't give me any presents for my good, un- rebellious behaviour.
No actually, strike that. They didn't give me any presents at all.
Now, that's mean because even Santa gives coal to the mischievous ones.
Now, before we go off track, again, let's clear up some things about dreaming in general.
You can dream while you're asleep at night. (But, you won't remember most of it.)
You can dream during a particularly boring day or just any day for that matter while you're half asleep. (It's called day dreaming.)
You can dream unconsciously without even being aware of it till someone comes and waves a hand in front of your face. (Can also be called as zoning out.)
You can just dream. (Like planning about what you're going to do later in life or about what you're going to do the next day)
DREAMING ISN'T BAD. Dot.
People might say that you have your head up in the clouds in one dream world or the other.
Be glad you have that kind of imagination.
To dream, is no big deal but to actually live there is like, wow!
DREAMING IS NOT A DISTRACTION. Dot.
Hey, it's more like a reality check and it sort of inspires you to go there and achieve what you had in your dreams.
Distraction? Not at all. More like a break from the Mean, Cruel and Ugly REAL WORLD.
DREAMING DOESN'T MEAN YOU'RE LAZY. Dot.
Dreaming requires significant brain usage that uses up your energy.
If anything at all, dreaming means you have an active brain and an active brain is much better than a dormant one.
You DON'T want to be a living zombie.
DREAMING IS COMPLETELY NORMAL. Dot.
Some people look like they're dreaming all the time while the others are good at hiding it.
In the end, everyone dreams, not just while sleeping but also while they're wide awake.
DREAMING ABOUT MEANINGLESS STUFF DOESN'T MAKE YOU WEIRD. Dot.
I sometimes find myself dreaming about a song's lyrics.
Want an example? "Oh maha Zeeya Oho Maha Zeeya..."
Does it make sense? Nope, not at all.
DREAMING THAT YOU'LL BE SOMEONE YOU AREN'T MEANS THAT SOCIETY HAS GOT TO YOU. Dot.
We all find ourselves in this situation.
Fat people dream of being Thin.
Average kids dream of being Whiz Kids.
Poor kids dream of being Rich.
Monkeys dream of being People. Oh sorry, that was a mistake.
Monkeys DON'T dream of becoming people because they aren't pressured by their peers to become one.
Some extra Seventh Sense seems to tell them that being human isn't so great after all.
Too bad, we don't have both the No Peer Pressure thing AND the Seventh Sense thing.
So, it's us poor humans with dreams that could probably end up ruining us.
If you've read my Accept Yourself For Who You Are post, you'll understand what I mean.
If you haven't, then do read it after you've finished this one.
DREAMING IS OK.
As long as you dream of being a better, improved version of yourself.
Not the misguided way others and society want you to be.
DREAMING IS OK.
As long as you don't FORGET your real world because whether you like it or not, the real world is where you are and you have to learn to deal with it.
DREAMING IS OK.
As long as you know your limits and don't end up hurting yourself.
I should know, dreaming out of limits hurts like hell when it's reality time and takes a long time to patch up.
DREAMING ISN'T A CRIME.
No seriously, it isn't.
Dreaming is your heart and mind's way of reminding you of what you actually want in life.
FOLLOWING YOUR DREAMS IS THE TOUGHEST BUT MOST GRATIFYING THING YOU'LL EVER DO.
Follow your dreams because they'll make you grateful for your life and they'll make you feel great about yourself.
Life is all about challenges and dreams are a way to overcome them.
When you have a dream in mind, your path becomes clearer, your victory becomes sweeter and life becomes happier.
Dream, because it'll ultimately make you glad.
It'll make you feel on top of the world.
It'll be the best thing you've ever done.
Have a great year and life 'cause You Only Live Once!
Happy New Year once again!
