[078] A Letter About My Dreams
Apr. 9th, 2014 04:14 pmI have so many of them, it's a little hard to keep track sometimes. Big and small, impossible and feasible, all of it.
For as long as I can remember, I've dreamed of going into space. The stars are some of the most beautiful things I've ever seen, and I am such a scifi girl - Star Wars and Star Trek, Andromeda, all of it. I wanted to be an astronaut for the longest time. I don't exactly want to do that as a career anymore, but give me the opportunity to fly to the moon or Mars, or hell, just sit in orbit for an hour, and I will grab it with all four limbs and never let it go. There are so many things on Earth that you just can't grasp from pictures, you have to see in person, y'know? How 'bout the Earth itself? :P
My other great love is books. Books and solitude and quiet. Some of my fondest memories from growing up were spent in the library. And you get to tell people to be quiet, too! This is the one I'm working towards, working as a librarian. If I could intern at the Library of Congress - nevermind actually work there - that would be a dream come true.
I've got lots of smaller-yet-unrealistic ones, too. Visit all of the world's largest/most beautiful caves, win the lottery and pay off all of my family's various debt, being a famous author, having an exhibit of my photography...lots of little things, but fun things to work on. :)
