Waking from a Dream
When you're young, you wonder what life will be like when you're all grown up. When you are grown up you wonder if you have actually ever grown up. I feel you never do, you just know what you need to get done and you do it. I talked to my dad a couple days ago, because of his concern for this state's economy, and reminded me of my dreams of being a hairdresser in Las Vegas. In so few words it was like my dad woke me from a dream. I've been working just to survive in my profession forgetting about where I wanted it to take me. I've drowned myself in my own career forgetting where I wanted to go and only concerned myself with making ends meet. I feel like I have been in a five year coma consisting of dreams and nightmares of my own odyssey. Am I really awake? Or is this just the beginning? There's a big feeling of change in the air, and I don't know where it'll take me. But I'm excited and hopeful.
