Dreams, Hopes and Wishes

Today, I am much better than yesterday. I'm not down anymore! Woo! Well let's get on with this post, I wanted to write about it today because its something important to me and I think about it a lot. And it came up again, and while I guess it may be a little pessimistic I don't mean it in that way at all. It's just food for thought.

Dreams. We all have dreams right? I don't necessarily mean going to bed at night and dreaming. I mean more like day dreams or imagining scenerios, having hope. "If I were to win the lottery I would buy my parents a mansion, I would make sure all my schooling and my sister's was paid". "I hope the girl(or guy depending on who you are) I ask out says yes...and then we'll be a couple." "I want you to be my significant other", "I wish she'd/he'd notice me...", "Maybe I have a chance..." All these scenerios, is it right to dream about them? To hope? To wish? Is all that a good thing or a bad thing? Is it harmful to us?

What are the odds of winning the lottery? What are the odds of you ending up happily ever after with the person you currently can't get out of your mind? I don't mean this as a negative thing, I'm just curious. I make up scenes in my head all the time, and when they don't happen, it well sucks. It hurts even. So is it a good thing to spend all that time imagining something that isn't true? We waste a lot of time with that. And it sucks.

But I personally do love daydreaming and creating these hopes and wishes. It's fun, it gets me out of the boring moments in life. It's nice to imagine a life where everything that could go right for you does, who wouldn't want that? We as human beings I believe should never give up on hope. Hope is something important in our lives, I think we don't realize how lost we would be without it...Although I won't go more into that because I wanna save the discussion of hope for another day :p .

But anyways, thoughts? Is it bad? Is it a good thing? I'll keep on daydreaming, that's for sure. But I don't know, it does suck when it doesn't happen. But hey when they say be careful what you wish for, why does that always have to be a bad thing? What if we are careful what we wish for, and we wish for something good and that good thing does happen!

That I think is enough to keep me going.
