I felt it appropriate to inject a song into this blog. "Dorothy at Forty" written by Cursive:
Dorothy, I know you've had amazing dreams
We can't go chasing down each golden street
Each and every rainbow, each passion, each unattainable goal
We're not in dreamland anymore
Dorothy, it seems you'll never understand
This here land is everything we have
Every sweat-stained collar, every dollar, every bent and bloodied spur
We're not the kids that we once were
We can't be the adults we want to be
Dreams are all you have, dreams have held you back
Dreamers never live, only dream of it
Dream cars, dream houses, dream jobs, dream spouses
Dreams of tornadoes, cities of emerald
And I know we swore we'd make more of ourselves
but this plot is literally our lot in life.
...I relate to most of this song...I am sure others do too. Should we stop dreaming? Or just make our dreams become reality?

Dreamers
After just having graduated college, I find myself at a crossroads with my life. Yes, I am only 22 years old, and while I am not experiencing a mid-life crisis, I am experiencing a change of direction. School has been my life, my purpose, and my "full time job" for as long as I can remember. Now that the schooling part of my life is done, it is time for me to discover what I am suppose to do with my life, what I want to do with my life, and what I am made to do.
This blog will serve as the mode to communicate my discoveries, my faults, triumphs and failures. I am positive there will be many of each. And through this, maybe someone else can get inspired to do what they love, find their passions, and go for their own dreams....
