I am an optimistic person. I know that recently I have been playing by the "no dreams, no hopes, no chances of getting hurt" philosophy, but it is in my nature to keep my head up and smile with whatever comes my way. No, I am not naive; I simply do not want to waste the majority of my life being depressed over the "should have's, could have's, and would have's" when I could easily just be making things turn out well.
I am a dreamer, and often I have lost myself in cheesy moments that my mind has created. Earlier, my mind strayed away from studying and I was picturing a perfect day with my loved one:
I'd be asleep when he first entered my room. He would wake me with a kiss on the forehead. After greeting me with a "good morning" I will reply with "Hiya, stranger," and as I smiled he would present to me a small bouquet of tiger lilies or stargazer lilies or orchids. He'd lay with me in bed for a few minutes and motivate me to get up with the thought of breakfast crepes. We would sit in the second kitchen eating a homemade breakfast in our pajamas and drinking "simply orange". Afterwards, he would get a warm shower started. Showers at around 8-9AM are perfect since the sun hits the shower perfectly. As we shower you could see the individual droplets of water hit against our bodies. He helps dry me off and after getting dressed we are off. The first stop would be the Rudolph van der Goot Rose Garden at Colonial Park. I have yet to go, but I have heard there are thousands of roses in 325 varieties. We would go around reading the braille signs which say "smell me" or "touch me". We'd separate on the trail and when we'd find each other we would both have a rose for each other. The ponds would be waiting for us and we'd take pictures of the frogs, fish, and water lilies. We'd go to the paddle boats and paddle aimlessly around for an hour or so. For lunch, we'd head off to Viva Mexico or Thai Kitchen. Afterwards, we'd head off to a place with a quarter machine which dispenses rings. He'd ask for my hand in marriage in the middle of the store and we would leave in a childish manner acting like giddy school kids. We'd head to the dollar store and get random things to put in my room. He'd drive me back home where we would begin the painting portion for the mural on my wall. He'd paint the tip of my nose and let me do it in return. He'd help me reach the top of the wall since I'm short. When we get tired of painting we'd go outside and swim. He'd cook pasta alfredo and I'd put texas toast in the oven. After eating, we'd sit in front of my house and watch the sunset. I would ask "what do you think?" He would look at me and say "I think it's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen." For the millionth time today we'd kiss and head back into the house to watch a movie. I would fall asleep with comfort knowing that in the morning I will be in his arms and for the rest of my life we could continue having perfect days like this.
