Livin the dream

I have so many many things I want to do with my life. Sure, my near future goal is to go to college in Mt. Pleasant, but beyond that my expectations stretch for miles.

I have many dream lives.

My dream lives are probably pretty similar to many people's dream lives and that's fine, because they're still allllll mine.

My first dream life is to live in San Diego, California. My dad has lived literally all over the country, he lived in almost all 50 states before he even turned 30, and of all the places he lived San Diego was his favorite. I've heard os many stories from him about the surfing, the music, and the people of California that I can't help but to want to live there. For my dream life in the Sunsine State I want an apartment near the beach and the boardwalk and a sweet pair of rollerblades to skate said boardwalk everyday. The job for my California dream life would be a freelance writer who isn't broke. I would hang out at the beach all day writing and then meet up with friends for surfing, and at night we would circle around roaring bonfires on the shore.

Then there's my New York/ Chicago dream life.

I love Chicago as a city. I've been there about five times and I love the vibe of everything. I love the people, the food, and the culture. I haven't been to the big apple yet. However, I do have plans to venture there this coming summer.

For my city dream life I would have a hip office job designing and writing for a creative magazine. One of those offices where it's super chilled out and everyone is friends with everyone. I would have a loft apartment with a gorgeous view of the skyline. This apartment would have to be close to Central Park, or Millenium Park for Chi-town. This dream life could also include a cute, indy vibed boyfriend. Said boyfriend could take me out for sweet vegetarian food and punk rock shows orrrr he could just stay in with me and watch Quentin Tarantino movies while eating take out chinese!

So these are just two of my many various alternate realitys. I have others, they range from Seattle to South Carolina. But for now I guess I'll just focus on next year instead of the next decade. :]
