The Dream World

So, our wonderful world is reality, right? What if it wasn't the only reality that we had access to? You know what I am talking about. All those strange and realistic dreams that haunt or occupy our sleeping minds. Have you ever stopped to think about whether or not there is a possibility that what we dream is real? I know I have. 

Sadly, I am not one of the lucky people who have dreams all the time. For me, dreams haunt my sleep once in a blue moon. 

So, try to think about your most recent dream or nightmare or what ever you wish to call it. How realistic is it? From whose perspective is it? Did you recognize anyone or anything? Personally I ask myself these questions every single time I have a dream. 

My last dream was crazy. But, it helped spur the questions as to how real dreams are. In my dream world I woke up, and looked out the window (the window was exactly where it was in real life). It felt as though I had sat there staring at the empty street for some time. When suddenly, there was an unbearable pain in my hand, so, like any person would do, I looked at my hand. My hand was covered in small black bugs to the point where I could not see my flesh beneath them. I remember screaming and waking up my friend (with whom I was staying). I cried until I fell asleep. And then to my surprise, I woke up and none of that had happened. 

So, what do you think? I know it was a dream but what if it was my mind taking me to a different reality? I can not say I will ever know for sure what dreams mean or what they really are. Although, I can always say that I will question their existence.

Celebrate what?

So, we all like having holidays and celebrations. Whether it means a day off of work or school, a lazy day, or a day to spend time with family and friends.

Have you ever stopped to think about what it would be like if we did not have these days? Personally I haven't given it much thought.

So, lets think: Christmas, Thanksgiving, New Years, Family Day, March Break, Birthdays, Halloween, Easter, Valentines Day, and so many more.

 
Now, what if we didn't have any holidays?

What if we didn't even have celebrations? What if we didn't have the opportunity or option to do anything to celebrate these days?

I think that a world without holidays would be perfectly fine.

Yes, I do enjoy some holidays and celebrations but I believe that it is because of the society that I have been raised in. There are many places that don't celebrate many holidays.

Many of our holidays have to do with our religion, culture, location, and sometimes society and status.

What are holidays and celebrations even for? To get stuff? To help others? 

To be thankful for what you have?

"Memory" Chip

What if we didn't know who we were? What if we didn't know our own name, address, our family, or even our own face?
I don't know about you, but I would freak out!
Losing your identity, I think would be worse than having your identity stolen. Because when you lose who you are, you become a completely different person.

Just think about it. 

No home. 

No family. 

No past. 

No friends. 

Possibly no future.

"Memory" chip?

What would you think? Would it be a great blessing, or would you wish to have everything back?

I cannot imagine the stress and fear that would accompany the loss of your identity and being. 

So imagine you did lose your memory. And imagine that we had the technology to give it back to you.
What if you had to cut your hand open by yourself to do it? What if you had to trade your brain for a computer chip?

Would you do it? 

I sure wouldn't! 

As wild as my imagination is, I could never do anything my mind says. I'm a self proclaimed chicken, hence why I enjoy the world of what ifs. I do love the idea that we could possibly get our knowledge staight from a computer some day. I think it would make life interesting. Plus, imagine never having trouble understanding a concept. Yes, I know, very Matrix, but it's only in my imagination. 

Misunderstandings

What if everything that we over thought, had just a simple answer? As humans, we are skilled in the department of over-thinking(myself being the worst). This is one of my favorite songs, as it explores the idea that maybe, just maybe, we don't know what we are talking about.
Life throws us punches left and right. I think that it is time that we stop and think about what where the punches are coming from and where they send us.
The truth is, I often think too much into everything that happens in my life. And every time I listen to this song, I remember to take a set back. To remember life isn't always a riddle.
I do not expect a lot of people to like this song but I do hope you listen to it.
Are there any songs that make you take a second look at life? What about movies? Or perhaps a poem?
Even if you don't have something that makes you think, I encourage you to find something. As crazy as it may sound, it can help a lot.
It can help you find who you are, what you want to do, and what you stand for.

(Im)Possibilities

There is a fine line between what is real and what is not. But, there is a way to cross the line and enter the unknown.

The unknown is composed of a million and one "what ifs".

Those "what ifs" can be extremely outrageous, like "what if I spontaneously grew a second nose", they can even be very simple, like "what if it rains today".

Personally, I love entertaining the outrageous and spontaneous what ifs that invade my mind.

When I look at my life and the way that I think, I usually notice that almost every single one of my thoughts starts with what if.

So what do you think of what if questions? 

Do they scare you? 

Do they thrill you? 

Do you ignore them? 

Do you crave them?

Encourage them?

What about sharing them? Or do you keep them to yourself?

When the first snow fall of the year happens, and you have that urge to go outside and cherish it, most people will go outside. I am the kind of person who stands outside waiting for the first snow fall. 

So, when it comes to ifs, I am the exact same way. 90% of my time is spent thinking of alternative situations or even fantasies.

I love exploring the unknown, as long as the unknown remains in my head. If I was to face any number of my ifs, I would run in the other direction. Although I do love using my imagination, it will stay just that, my imagination.

But, I will always look forward to each new question. 

What about you? What do you think of if questions? Have you ever tried to live them through? or are you like me, and you just keep them and their (im)possibilities in your mind?

All over again!!

So this semester I have a class in which I must create a new blog! I really don't want to do this! I love writing here and I like how I can write about absolutely anything and no one can stop me. Anyways, I have to have a topic and keep it interesting.

 My first idea was DRAGONFLIES!! Of course. 

But I cannot write about dragonflies, twice a week, for four months.
No way. I would go insane. I just don't want to do this. There are so many things to blog about but nothing that I care about that much. Although I don't want to do this, I have thought of an idea.
Have you ever wondered what might have happened if things were different?

Well, I am going to explore that. 

I am going to post poems, rants, random thoughts, and pictures on things that make you wonder "What if?"
I am really looking forward to this all of a sudden.

Sight Seeing for Men

All too often, us women are lied to and taken advantage of. We are seen as bodies even if we do not show our body. "Eye candy", that's what we are. When will we become something more than just a sight for men to cast their eyes upon? When will we been seen as people? Will we even find the one that doesn't care what we look like? I truly hope so. I just wish it was easier.
Us women, long to feel loved and appreciated. Sadly this is why we get hurt so bad. We are pulled in by men who act like they like every thing about us.

Then the truth comes out.

We will never be more than just a body. 

I have had my share of relationships and I can truthfully say, every single relationship ended because I was not willing to use my body to keep them. I was not willing to have some guy, who doesn't truly love me, disrespect my body.
We need to fix this problem. And to do that we need to start with us, the women of the world. Yes, media does tell us women that we need to show everything to be pretty. But, what happened to the days when a man was not given the opportunity to look at you with hunger. A man doesn't want a women who lets every Tom, Dick and Harry, to see all of her. They might want that for a while but, if a man is truly looking for the one, truly wanting to spend the rest of his life with a woman that he loves unconditionally, he wont go for the slut. Sadly, most women only give men the option of being with the slut, so that's what men start looking for. Because it's easy.
NO, it will not happen over night. And no, you may not have a fleet of men chasing after you. But if you honor and respect yourself, and show that you do, then you will find a man who will respect and honor you.

There are still good guys out there, but you won't find them unless you yourself are a good woman.

"We accept the love we think we deserve." 

Trust me when I say, every women, despite her faults and mistakes, deserves her own,

Prince Charming.
