I had a realisation today. Its been on my mind for quite sometime now, but i only truly realised how much it meant to me. So here it is:
Sometime in my life, im going to open up my own second hand bookshop. and its going to have this "trade" option, where you bring in your old book and take out a new (previously owned)one. and its going to have this coffee shop attached to the side, on like a different level, so people can read the books and drink wonderful coffee.
Thats my dream. its a pretty far off one i must admit, but one day i hope its going to happen. I really hope so. i've started collecting my books already :)
But this got me thinking. This along with another conversation i had with my sister. We were in my car and, randomly enough, we were talking about hair colour. And she said how she wanted to put blue in her hair, just in one section. And then we got onto a rant how we'd buy the wash out stuff so that if she didnt like it it didnt matter and then we'd have to save up this amount of money and blah blah blah. We just got SO excited PLANNING for this dream. Planning is the first step towards actually achieving your dreams. For me, each book i save is one step closer towards my bookshop. and i feel happy, and i feel excited, simply knowing im slowly getting there.
So my point is this: no matter how small or big your 'dreams' are, its taking that one step towards it that helps in the happiness. And i guess thats what dreams are: yes it has a "final destination", but its the path it takes to get there that makes us the people we are, and makes it all so very amazing in the end.
You all better visit my shop and drink my coffee :)

PS. today wasnt the greatest day. And yours mightn't have been either. but i know writing this has helped just that little bit, and i hope it has for you. Blogging makes me happy, and even if a total of 3 people read this (not including my mother), it doesnt matter. my BLOG makes me happy, and thats enough. So i hope you get as much happiness out of it as i put into it
