In my wildest dreams…

I wouldn’t be scared of failing. The idea of failing wouldn't be a thought in my mind. I would just jump, spontaneously, at any opportunity that drew my interest. I would embrace all that is myself and not worry about whether it was good enough for any other part of my life. My ambition would be my drive to be a better version of myself. My career would take off because I would write without hesitation.

In my wildest dreams…

I would be a social butterfly. I would flutter from person to person without any awkwardness or anxiety. I wouldn’t overthink every word before it leaves my mouth. I would have more than one friend and I wouldn’t fear that they would leave. I wouldn’t require alone time to recharge my mind after having a get-together with family or friends. I could just simply exist in any size crowd and just be comfortable.

In my wildest dreams…

I would write about the world, about people, about events and emotions. I would bury myself in thoughts and ideas. I would then take those thoughts/ideas and turn them into magnificent pieces of art. I would blow the minds of all those across the internet. I would write non-stop and post pieces daily. I would be proud to call myself a writer.

In my wildest dreams…

I would realize how important my physical health is. I would finally connect my physical health with my mental health and choose to do better. I would stay hydrated and I would teach myself how to eat healthier. I wouldn’t be so scared of being miserable for the first couple of weeks and/or months. I wouldn’t assume that I would fail and question why I should try anyway.

In my wildest dreams…

I would be the perfect daughter. I would be the perfect sister and the perfect best friend. I would push past my anxieties and fears and just be there. I would share precious moments with my family and not be restricted by my own opinions and assumptions of myself. I would be the person that they needed me to be.

In my wildest dreams…

I would realize that every dream I mentioned above was not impossible to reach. I would tell myself that I am capable of doing all of the above. I wouldn’t let my own opinions and thoughts about myself keep me from all that I dream about. I would choose to be on my own team. I would choose to take care of myself and I mean really take care of myself. I would treat myself better and I make sure that I stopped pouring from an empty glass.

In my wildest dreams…
