Some late night words of wisdom on the above. Completely and utterly true. Sometimes I feel like a lot of us just don't dream big enough. We settle for something that feels comfortable and reassuring in the moment, and we are content with just that. I don't know why. Maybe it's fear of being let down. Or a fear of failing. Maybe its laziness. Maybe its hopelessness. I've always been one of those people that have hungered for more than what I already had. I always have to be creatively stimulated. I'm always thinking of new ways to see things or ways to make my present moment more inspiring and forward-going. Sometimes I get stuck in a rut with my job, doing the same thing over and over, but why just settle for that? I've never been one to want to get stuck doing one thing for the rest of my life. Why, that would be so boring. So monotonous. Why just live life during that 9-5? I have big dreams and I've never been afraid to reach them, even if I know it may take quite a number of steps to get to that point. But I've never let that discourage me. Be it photography, or picking up an instrument, or sitting down to write a spur-of-the-moment short story, taking the effort and time to fulfill your dreams, or even something as simple as an interest or curiosity, is worth every single struggle, hardship, and stress that is gained along the way. Without a little pain, there would be no love or passion, and these are the things that always have to ignite us. Every single day. Dream big. It's your dream, and it can be as outrageous as you want it to be. And size should never stop you from reaching.

I'm 21 and today I went to the Grove (a mall) and they had a Santa Clause so I decided to sit on his lap and tell him what I wanted. I didn't hold back and it felt really good to just say exactly what I really want outland. Sometimes you're afraid to tell people what you really want because they don't understand you and they might think it's impossible or too big. And so it makes you feel bad about wanting those things. But, it felt really good to just say it. And when you say it and own it, what other people say about it won't even matter. I mean, if you're gonna make a wish or dream...why should you limit yourself? The point of wishes is that they can be anything! So, wish for what you really want, and be so clear about it that you won't settle for less. You always have to have faith in some sort of magic.

Thanks so much! I needed this!
Not to get all personal on you, but I have been surrounded by extreme realists my whole life, so it's nice seeing some inspiration to dream. In fact, in january i'm moving to San Francisco to follow my dream of studying fashion design :)

Some people are just made like that, and their dreams are just small dreams, and that's what they really want from life, and that's what makes them happy. My dream may seem like a small minded, backwards dream to most, a very small dream to plenty, but when I thinka about it I see how big it really is, and how difficult to achieve it is...
