Good Evening

So I've been wanting to start a blog for a while now. I have all these random thoughts on life, music, and fashion that I think need to be written down. Here's the thought that starts it all:

The other day I was thinking about how quarky, creative, and unafraid I used to be. I feel like I lost that part of me somewhere along the road. I feel like a watered down version of myself sometimes. I'm sure part of it is just growing up, but I feel another part is society forcing us to conform. So my new goal is to stop conforming.

Specifically, I remember having a dream when I was about 5 or 6 that I could fly (I was obsessed with Peter Pan) if I just ran around my house with my arms out long enough. So I tried it. I ran around my house several times with my arms spread out like wings. When I felt no sign of take off, I decided it wasn't going to work.

At first I was laughing at this memory. What a stupid little boy. But then I thought, Wow! I wish I could always follow my dreams like I did when I was a litle boy. I love my life, but how different would it be if I did that?

In some respects I did. I wanted to move out of Indiana and I did. Everytime I felt like changing majors or jobs, I did. So maybe I am still the same boy that I used to be. My problem now is not always chasing my dreams, it's figuring out what my dreams are.
