Hello everyone... wow, what an awkward intro. I'm not really sure why I wanted to start a blog, because I'll probably forget that I have one in the first place. I guess it's because I like writing, but I'm too much of a chicken to take AP English. Oh well.
This will be a place in which I record my "adventures", because, yes, I am a dreamer in our modern society- hence the title. It's a little upsetting that conformity has taken over, as I feel myself getting caught in some sort of current. Daily Routine? Get up. Go to school. Marching band and dance practice. Homework. Stress. Maybe get some sleep. There's some variation occasionally, but I usually know exactly what I would be doing at any certain moment. Summer? Oh. Sleep for 12 hours, get up, ride my bike, watch tv, repeat. I can only imagine what life as an adult will be like for me. Where's the motivation to just... do something different? How could I possibly use my imagination in any part of that? There's something more to life. I know, it's cliche to write a blog about the 'meaning of life'. But, you know what? It's not going to be about that. The reason people have failed over and over in their futile searches have but one point they have overlooked: we're all different. If we were all the same, how in the world would we be where we are now? Granted, it's not a great position, but it's better than living in caves. I couldn't imagine Rosa Parks and Jeff Dunham as being the same. Humans create history together, good and bad, and it becomes a giant domino effect. I could only imagine what life would be like if nothing happened in 1776. If Hitler had never been born. If we were smart enough to create and maintain a Utopian society. Is it possible, or is it one of those things that is mocking us every day? Just wondering.
I know this was short, but I needed to get past the first post. It's always the toughest with writer's block. If you continue reading, be warned that my mind is an interesting place to visit.
I'm hoping to have a little adventure, whether it be past the woods or building relationships, and write about it here along with what I learn. You don't gain wisdom from reading books. I'm not setting out to find my place. All in all, I'm going to figure out why God put me here, and what He meant for me to do. That, my friend, will be the greatest adventure of all.
Love,
Allison
P.S. Mary Alex, if you're reading this, I'm stealing your idea of giving recommendations. Mine will be music, though!
