From the time we were little kids, all we ever dreamed of was growing up. We would dress up and put on make-up because that is what the older kids did. We imagined growing up and getting the perfect boyfriend and the coolest job in the world! We would dream up the most spectacular wedding and later on imagine the perfect family to go with it. As kids we thought the adults always had it together, they had done everything right, and their dreams came true. As kids we had this idea that life had a meaning and if you did everything the right way, life would give you your hopes and dreams. But at some point we grow up.
There comes a point in our lives that we realize our childhood was so much better than growing up. We have always imagined what it would be like to be older, but when we do grow up we finally understand it's not all that it is cracked up to be. But we still thirst for those moments we dreamed of. That perfect boyfriend, getting into the school of our dreams, the day of our wedding, and what our family would be like. We loose ourselves in dreaming about what kind of future we will have. Maybe life is not all about finding that one great love or family. Maybe it's about living in the moment while they last. Maybe it's about the summer days you spend trying to make art and end up making a mess. It could be about the rainy days when you just feel like staying in bed and having a movie marathon. It's about the your favorite ice cream, book, and song. So why spend all your time waiting around for "the one"? The greatest individual you could ever dream of falling in love with, is yourself.
