Dreams

Hmm. Nothing. I just wanna rant and rant, hoping you'd pardon me for my weirdness.

Back when I was in my first year of highschool, I had this spring notebook. It was the 23rd day of April then, I started listing down my dreams in my life. I intentionally placed a small space before each line, so that I'd be able to check it once it came true. My dreams were quite simple, only some of them are quite complicated and hard to achieve; nevertheless, they were all possible. Some of my dreams during that time were:

__ Have a closer relationship with God
__ Convince "lost" people to have faith in God
__ Get hurt and cry over someone
__ Be able to get up once I fall
__ Write a summary of my life with all of my realizations
__ Be a writer who could inspire others in their lives
__ Be closer to my family
__ Have a true girl best friend
__ Have a guy best friend
__ Have an overnight at a friend's house
__ Star gazing with my friends
__ Compose a poem for my friends
__ Lay on the roof while gazing at the stars
__ Receive a gift during Valentines
__ Receive flowers or chocolates from a loved one
__ Have someone who'd compose a poem for me
__ Have someone who'd love me for who I am
__ Publish a book
__ Compose a song
__ Be a word factory champion
__ Be a gold medalist
__ Be a guitarist
__ Be part of a band
__ Celebrate my birthday in another country
__ Realize that life is great, really great!

Those are just some of my dreams that are listed in that notebook. Anyway, I forgot about that notebook after months and even years. Around 2 weeks ago, I fixed my belongings and found this notebook, after almost two years of not touching it. I scanned it: it contained my thoughts during that summer, some relevant parts of my life, a list of the people who greeted me on my 14th birthday, a sort of essay about my desire to write, the draft of my favorite tagalog poem and of course, there it was written: the list of my dreams in life.

Now, I realized that almost all of my dreams during that time came true. And yeah, just now, I came up with a great conclusion, another lesson in life that I'd never forget:

Dreams can really come true. We just have to wait for the right time. But this does not mean that we should do nothing. Of course, we have to make our dreams come true.

I still have lots of things to write about. If you're interested, just wait for my next entry.
