Can we pretend...

...that airplanes in the night sky are like shooting stars, I could really use a wish right now, wish right now, wish right now...

When dreams don't come true:

You feel defeated. It's the end of your world- for today. No one understands, you may have next year, or the year after, etc., to fulfill your dreams, but your dream was for today, for right now or in the near future even.


But how do you live in the moment if you are constantly planning? Your dreams will always be broken apart. I have learned the hard way. My mistakes kept taking me down the same path and I kept getting to the end and starting all over again.


Positivity is chosen. I am choosing it. I may have cried in the past but the past is the past. It is no longer relevant. I'm choosing to live in the moment, take in the smiles on my friends faces. Notice the faded blue sky. Run my fingers through the blades of grass on the ground.
If I stay upset, I lose all of the small things that make me happy.
Life is hard. College makes it harder. But college teaches you how to deal with it; how to fix it, or how to cope with it. I'm learning how to live, because living is hard. I want to do so much, but I won't be able to. I know that. I'm choosing the free experiences my family and friends are offering. Not the expensive things.
So when your dreams are ripped apart or broken right in front of you in just a second, know that life gets better if you make the choice to let it get better. Choosing happiness is the best decision I have ever made. It can be yours too.
