Dream Lives

Sometimes I think that our dreams are still a part of reality. Like, that they still "happen." And I feel this way about our aspirations-- or, those things that we say "What If" about-- that those are still a part of who we are. I've been doing a lot of "what if"s lately-- what if I didn't go to Scotland my junior year, what if I wasn't with my grandmother when she died, what if I'd never worked at the art store...

Anyway, here are some of my alternate lives:

1. potter
2. neuro-surgeon
3. stripper
4. monk
5. professor
6. photojournalist
7. fashion designer
8. supermodel
9. novelist
10. shaman
11. HIV diva
12. pilot
13. farmer
14. park ranger
15. EMT
16. tugboat captain

... Just to name a few.
