I can’t wait to see the real thing on the runway… In pictures, because I can’t afford to go to Paris to experience this amazing event. I absolutely loved watching all these Disney Princesses growing up. I am looking forward to seeing all of these gifted designers interpret such monumental icons in every girl’s childhood. This post definitely is an example of how dreams become reality.

I’d like to think I’m a little bit of both…

But more geared towards the right.

“Throw your dreams into space like a kite, and you do not know what it will bring back; a new life, a new friend, a new love, a new country…” — Anais Nin

Anais Nin is a beautiful writer. This is just one of many quotes that I love.

As a dedication, I hand-wrote her quote and set up this picture in my office with the many supplies I had in hand. It symbolizes that even with the chaos that life brings us, whether it be work, school, relationships between family and friends, it is always important to keep dreams alive for we don’t know what to expect from them.

Regardless of the outcome of our dreams… Be it come true or not… We always captivate something special, gain something magnificent, which morphs us into the most exquisite beings we are yesterday, today, and the many tomorrows that come.

The Equilibrium of my Life.

There comes a time when you remember all the things that you have done in the past, the present, that make you look forward to the future. It has been a never-ending rollercoaster for me. My family and peers are my strength at times of tribulation and unhappiness. Failures come and go, oddly enough it seems accomplishments last for less than a day. Negativity transcends over the positive. Reputable memories never to be erased. You hold on to the things you cherish the most close to your heart, never willing to let them go… because they’re the one conclusive entity perpetually motivating you to go on. As I’m ending yet another journey in my life, and I look back at what I have achieved and what I have lost, I have come to recognize how much I’ve grown. My faulty errors have only made me stronger; My consummations a great sense of satisfaction. This is life, and this is who I am. Presently, I have never been so content with everything that I am doing. Hmm, I realize that at times my quietness gives off the sense that I may be upset or discombobulated, when in my reality, those times I am just in “profound” thought and in awe of the path I’ve overcome.

As for what the future holds, I really don’t know. And that is both the joy and the sorrow…the knowledge of not knowing. Ergo, in order to continue and survive the world in all of it’s glory and destruction; strength, patience and courage is required because with strength you can pull yourself above anything, with patience you can achieve the goals you have set, and with courage you can do anything in life.
