imagine this... it is raining outside. you are walking with a purple umbrella and bright pink chanel lipstick. roy orbison "all i have to do is dream" is playing on your ipod. a smile on your face.
people stop to stare, wondering what you have to be so happy about on such a dreary day?
simple really. i had the most wonderful dream last night. i was sitting at a desk full of color and clutter, typing away dressed in a bright flowing maxi-dress across from a boy i love writing in a leather bound journal only pausing to look up and smile. Gary lewis and the playboys streaming from a record play .... "i want a dream lover so i wont have to dream alone."
this is exactly how i imagine my life in a few years.
simple. happy. writing. a creative man by my side.
oh, and to go too clown school in paris. the perfect place for food, fashion, art for arts sake and daily champagne.
granted i was awoken from this lovely dream by a terrible thunderstorm. the walls of the paper doll house i currently reside in trembling with the lightning coming through my windows as if i was at a rave filled with lighters raised and neon glow sticks.
some might have taken my frightening wake up call as a sign reminding me that my dream was just that...only a dream.
i, however, believe that is was a helpful little nudge.
natures way of saying to me:
today is your day.
get up. get on with it. make it happen.
and that my friends is exactly what i plan to do.
to make my dreams a reality.
raising my glass. thinking of you.
fondly,
katherine cabiness.
