So I have to admit this whole blogging thing isn't very easy to start out. I've had writers block for about a week on just the introduction, but I'm over it now. The "Daydreamer Chronicles" is a blog about my inner most thoughts and well... Daydreams. When I was a kid I used to get in trouble a lot in school for daydreaming. It's pretty weird, I'm not even quite sure how it even started. I just remember going to parent teacher conference with my mom when I was in the second grade and hearing my teacher go on and on about how I was almost always daydreaming in class. This was pretty much the report of almost all of my teachers up until high school. I don't even think my mom knew how to react to it. All she could tell me was "pay attention in class, and calm down on all that daydreaming. You won't learn anything that way". I must say since then I've learned plenty and I still live inside my head, or what others have referred to as "my own little world", happily. I don't even know how it was that noticeable, and boy what I would pay to find out what it was that my 7 year old self was even thinking so hard about in the first place.
Anyway, I've come to realize that my daydreams hold an important key to who I REALLY am inside, I believe there are remnants of my true self hidden in them. Over the past few years I've learned more and more about myself, but I've also lost a lot of myself along the way. I woke up one morning and finally noticed that I've become a part of the rat race of life, a person I've never wanted to be. All of the free, fun, crazy, outrageous, artistic, and REAL things I used to daydream about doing has yet to be manifested in my life, which to a certain degree saddens me. Realizing I AM NOT THIS PERSON, is like being hit by a bus (and if you've actually been hit by a bus, I'm sure it pales in comparison, so no offense). So not only will this blog be about the inner workings of my mind, but it will be bit of a fun documentary of my journey to self discovery. Daydreaming will simply never be enough so I'm gonna go out there and make it happen. Is it annoying being 24 years old and finding out the person you've been most of your adult life is all a sham? Absolutely! But then I tell myself I'm ONLY 24, it's not over yet. The REAL me is out there somewhere and I'm gonna find her soon (don't worry little me... I'm coming).
Now don't get me wrong, I'm not some lazy oaf who sits around all day wishing my life was this way and that way and thinking about how much better I want it to be. I love the parts of myself that are concrete, my spirituality being one of those things. At this point I'm just motivated to get to know the other parts of myself that I've either hidden or have been too afraid of pursuing. "Why the fear?" you may ask. I honestly don't know, but I'm sure I'll find out. So Welcome to the blog. Its main purposes are to inspire others and of course for my close friends and loved ones to be able to get to know me a little better too, especially since I don't get to see you guys as much as I'd like. This blog will give you a chance to follow me on my journey and keep up with what I'm up to and hopefully it will inspire you to chase your daydreams too.
