Baby, this is what dreams are made of. We are continually stimulated by these images of this dreamy life. The places we will wander. The food we will eat. The lovers we will encounter. We all have schedules, time clocks to punch into and responsibilities. I currently am a full time student, an employee, sister, daughter and friend. I play all of these roles on a daily basis, but WHO AM I?

I am a dreamer.

I am always dreaming of new possibilities because they truly are endless.

I have short term and long term dreams. This way of looking at it could be compared to short/long term goals. That is how I categorize them. I dream of the flowers I will buy myself weekly and then of the places I will travel within the next weeks. Sooner or later my flowers are in a vase with water on my nightstand and my ticket and hotel are booked. These are pretty short term dreams but they keep my life in the dream like state I like it in. The long term dreams include career I will have of writing for a living all while traveling the globe.

Even though we all have these prior commitments, we still have the opportunity to let our dreams become realities through simple actions. I am a firm believer in creating the life desire because guess what. You can. No excuses. As T.I. would tell us, “Baby, you can have whatever you like.” How? Well some may find their sugar mama or daddy to fund their dreams such as T.I. However there are alternative routes. These other routes you may find to be more fulfilling of your true dreams.

Let the Intention Internalize the Dream

You create what you think. I have seen it happen with my own eyes. It naturally happens. That energy that you focus your thoughts on is everything. It makes things happen. Just like focusing on positive versus negative thinking. Focus on the dreams that make your soul light up and it’ll soar. Dream your dream, internalize its dreaminess and let them unfold right before your eyes.

Share the Dream

Just like love, don’t be afraid to share your dream with those that surround you. Your dreams may make you vulnerable. Isn’t that what all amazing things do? Ultimately by sharing the dream you are setting your intention even more so because you are sharing it with others. You know when you make it Facebook Official? Yeah make your dream Facebook official. There may just be someone out there that can help make that dream happen. Network to your advantage. There are so many people in this world that want to see others achieve their dreams and that are willing to put forth some effort as well to make shit happen. Making dreams happen.

Dream Big yet Within Reason

I like big things. Grande coffee or nothing, footlong sandwiches, and a dozen donuts versus one. Go big or go home. Am I right? So yes, dream big, imaginably and limitlessly. However, with this big dreams, take steps to make this dream your reality. In order to conquer or live out one specific dream, one must start somewhere. Start. Make a plan. Step one may seem much smaller than the ultimate dream, but it is a necessary start to the final step. Sooner or later you’ll be singing, “Started from the bottom now we here.” It’ll happen and I’ll be in the front row with my arms flailing in the air cheering your dreamy ass on.

Don’t wake the dream, but awaken your life. Push Snooze and let the dreams elaborate, come into themselves and evolve. The beauty that can and ultimately will unfold is out of this world. Out of this world and soon to be in it because you are going to make it happen.

Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
