...brings along some new thoughts.
Anyway, I trust everyone had a safe and pleasant ghoul-fest over the weekend? With All Hallow's Eve and Dias de los Muertos, I expect it would have been a grave mistake to miss them! AHAHAHA!
But all silly, cheesy puns aside, I feel like making this journal because of a rather odd dream I had last night--or perhaps this early morning since I do sleep way past my waking time.
In this dream, I was trapped in a house. A plain, regular living space for perhaps a few people but I was the only one in it. I navigate around this house and check each room, but nothing is really out of the ordinary. I make it to the backyard and I notice that the sky is a hazy orange-blue and that it appears to be summer. Perhaps. As I stroll along the grass barefoot, I notice that there's a rather large trampoline and I can hear kids all around me, over the brown, decrepit fence.
So I go on that death trap, getting a bounce, and I see the entire world around my little confinement. I see kids playing baseball on the field away, far faaaaaaaaaaaar away in the distance. I see more houses and new perspectives of the world, and I also a sense a feeling of....longing.
Yearning.
Upon seeing a new horizon that expanded farther than my mere fence, I realize that I want to go out. I want to go out there and explore; I want to live. I want to leave my little house and broaden my own horizons.
I think, deep down in my subconscious--which is just loads of randomly compiled data collected over the years--and in my dreams, I suffer from the drive common in my age group: I want to get out and experience my world.
Of course, then I wake up, realize that "experiencing" my world would cost a decent amount of money, resources, blah blah blah, and then I just hop on here and make a livejournal about it since this is free as opposed to actually doing it.
Reality kicks hard.
Whodathunkit.
