My Dreams

It was November, I was exhausted and stressed. Between work and school, I had no down time. I had a hard time falling asleep at night, I could not relax. Worried about what college I would end up in and if I could succeed in my career of nursing. It was a Saturday night and I went to bed early completely miserable. I was struggling in my math class and was not sure if I was going to pass. Although I had been having a difficult time falling asleep that night, however I fell asleep relatively fast and had an amazing beautiful dream.

That had lasting effects for the rest of my school year and really for the rest of my life. I need to breath and soak in the sunlight and the fresh air and be in silence. In that moment I learned to enjoy the simple things and realized that the universe is way bigger then my problems. The reality was the world was huge and the sky even bigger.
