9 Signs That You Are The Dreamer

1. You’re Always Somewhere Else


People sometimes mistake you for flaky or ditsy when you're caught in a daydream. I don't know if its considered a short attention span but I can't listen to an entire conversation without breaking out into my own thoughts for awhile.

2. You Drift Off In Class

"Woops I've been zoning out for the past ten minutes of the lecture..."

It all starts with a glance out the window but then the leaves falling from the trees reminds me of something else and the next thing I know I'm far, far away from math class.

3. You Had Multiple Scenarios of Your Future Planned Out Before You Were Even in High School

A husband and three kids? But where would we live and what kind of house....

For the longest time, I dreamed of owning a coffee shop and living in the rolling hills of England or Ireland, with a big farm and a family of my own. Then I wanted to own my own Interior Design business, which has taken me to where I am now. Maybe more of my dreams will come true...


4. You Suddenly Come Up With Great Ideas

When you're struggling to come up with a design, a writing topic, or a new idea for an art project, you have to jump on the moment when the ideas start flowing. In the middle of the day or night, you gotta write these ideas down or you might just pass up a really good book.

5. People That Know You Well, Know When You're No Longer Paying Attention


I'm constantly getting yelled at for not paying attention to the conversation, most of the time I'm just trying to process the information I'm being flooded with.

6. The Snapping or Waving In Your Face Is All Too Familiar...And Annoying

You may have just been staring at a wall for five minutes and everyone around you seems a little concerned. It ends with someone waving in your face and asking where you were and what you were thinking about, but they wouldn't be able to handle your imaginative day dreams.

7. If You Don’t Get Your Allotted Daydream Time You Have To Sit Somewhere in Silence for Awhile and Stare Off Into Space


Time to reflect on the day and catch up on your thoughts, what was the hidden meaning behind what that person said to me today? People close to you learn that your time spent contemplating is just a regular occurrence.

8. You Do A lot More Thinking Than You Do Speaking

You think, "why waste your breath on things that are better left unsaid." Dreamers are notorious for planning everything out in their head before they say it, or maybe never say anything at all.

9. You Are Good at Reading People

Sometimes it's a curse that you can tell people’s inner feelings and thoughts. Other times you are the only one who can read your best friend's or sibling's thoughts by just observing their body language.

10. There's Just Too Much Going On In Your Head

It's hard to concentrate on a conversation when something else is on your mind. Being a dreamer, there is always something else on your mind and sometimes it feels like a whirlwind of thoughts that could burst right out of your head at any minute.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
