Daydreaming

What do you daydream about? When I was young I was always daydreaming, though in my older years I am finding that I have less time to do that. I think the world may be a more peaceful place if everyone could just have a few minutes to let their mind wonder because sometimes your happy place is a lot better than reality.
My daydreams usually took the form of being in movies or TV shows. I could see myself accepting my Oscar or Emmy and thanking all the little people for believing in me and mom driving me to my auditions and dad for encouraging me to reach for the stars. After my speech was done and the after show interviews were done I would snap back to the present and realize that I either A. Missed a key piece of information for homework or B. Missed the question that the teacher was posing to me. Awkward moments to say the least.
Performing has always been a part of my life and probably always will be. I was always the first on stage if they needed volunteers or I was writing my own plays to present to my family. I am sure they were cheesy but I had fun and that is what counts.
Daydreaming can also be used as a tool to find the path that one should travel down. I wished I has realized that when I was younger. I always believed that acting was the only profession that could give me the happiness in show biz. Looking back, I think I did more writing than acting. I was always creating stories in my head and is essentially what daydreaming is about, making movies in your head. I have decided to take a creative writing workshop to get a better grasp on getting my stories out. I feel as though I have so much to tell but just not sure of the right format.

So I will continue to daydream and making movies in my head and who knows...maybe one day I will be accepting my Oscar or Emmy, just not for the accomplishment that I used to think.
