This post came to me while watching one of Brittney Crabb’s videos (if you don’t follow her and you love spooky stuff and manifestation type of videos- check her out!) and she was talking about how, ever since she was a child, she would imagine herself and tell herself and her mother that she was going to be on red carpets and meet all of these celebrities- and it happened to her! Seeing all of this success and all of these amazing things happen to her has been wonderful!
But it got me thinking about a child’s imagination and their fearlessness when it comes to their hopes and dreams. If a child wishes to be a chef, a nurse, or a dinosaur stomping through a town of alphabet blocks- they are what or who they say they are. No one can tell them otherwise!
When we hit a certain age, society (and sometimes even people in our lives) to tell us to stop daydreaming and to make sure that our heads aren’t always stuck in the clouds… why? Why do we do this to people and even to ourselves? I feel incredibly blessed to have grown up with a mother who also isn’t afraid to dream big and who isn’t afraid to encourage me and my siblings to dream big as well and to go for what we want.
Why does there have to be a cut-off point for our dreams? Why do we have to deny ourselves from even thinking about things that bring us joy? Because they’re ”unrealistic scenarios? Says who! Brittney’s video really cemented the idea that even as adults, we need to be more fearless in our thinking and dreaming. If your current reality is far from what you want it to be- it’s okay to dream of something bigger and better for yourself. Even if dreaming is just something that brings you comfort. Sometimes it’s enough for me to go on home decor websites and look for different utensils and decorations for my dream home. Sometimes that’s the boost I need in order to have a happier day.
This post was a bit rambly but I hope it serves some of you somehow.
Never stop daydreaming, my loves!
Xoxo, Gigi.
