Fathoms Below

Today, I realized my three dreams.

It actually happened rather accidentally when I told Becca, whilst looking upon Hannah's array of tropical island pictures, that it's one of my top three dreams to swim in tropical waters. Something rather like this... but envision the swimmer with red hair. I can't really say where this dream arose from, but it's just always kind of been there. No rhyme or reason, just a longing to be there and experience it. I always get a bit of wanderlust when I visit Becca and Hannah; if you haven't been to their room, it is adorned with a vast collection of tropical imagery. It is rather just this inexplicable desire, and so I would say that this is dream #3.

Honestly, the other two took a bit more thinking, the first dream most of all. Becca asked about my other two dreams, and I drew a bit of a blank. So while she left me alone with my jumbled thoughts, I, well, thought. I have so very many things I want to do with my life, so choosing just two more, or thinking which two were most important, was difficult. But I eventually came upon dream #2. I would very much like to own a house some day - one that I will love. This is more of a want-to-have dream, not necessarily experience. Though honestly it would be an experience. I think I long more for the feeling of a space that is for me more than the actual, fiscal ownership of it. It's rather on par with the third dream, but I figured this was more of longer lasting dream than the one before it...

And, for dream #1. Well, it's actually a secret. I didn't quite realize it myself until a couple minutes prior to writing this. Rather, I think of it sometimes, but it was not an obvious choice when trying to isolate my three greatest dreams. This would fall under an experience category. Just because I can't frame it aptly in words, I will keep it to myself. It is not something I would tell the casual friend. Not because it's so outrageous, but for rather the opposite. It's a rather simple thing that I have asked God for, and is definitely my first dream. If you really want to know, you'd have to ask me, but I can't promise I'd tell you. It's my special dream, after all.

I think that's it for now. Unexpected blog, as are they usually.

What are your dreams?
