You Don't Need A Death Bed

So if you know me you know that I have theeee weirdest dreams, ever! Like of people turning into buses and running over mean boys kind-of-weird. They would always be a topic for me and my friends to talk about. "Hey do you want to hear the weird dream Rachael had last night?" Yah I was that person. It's fun though cause we would always find some kind of deep meaning to them to make it funny. “I had a dream last night I tripped over a pair of chopsticks?" "Don't ever eat Chinese food, again!" haha. Well, a couple of nights ago I had a dream that I got in a terrible accident and I had to be taken into surgery that I had a 10% chance of living, kind of puts a downer on things huh? Well I was sitting there in the bed watching doctors and my family all frantically running around trying to fix me up when they told me I had 5 minutes to say goodbye. So I kissed my mom on the cheek and told my brothers I loved them, when a couple of faces popped into my mind. I asked for 5 more minutes to say goodbye to some of the most important people in my life. Julie, Emma, Melissa, Amy, and Kinzie walked in with tears in their eyes. I told them each things that they needed to hear and what I needed to say. Some things were funny and some things were just plain depressing, well the whole dream was quite depressing actually. Then I asked for a boy to come in. A special boy. And I told him exactly how I felt about him and I told him to kiss me. Who wants to die a lip virgin for goodness sakes right? Haha. Well for some odd reason I cannot get his dream out of my head! I don't know if I lived or if I died. Don't you hate those kinds of endings? I do! All I know is why does that matter? We should be able to tell the people that mean the most exactly how we feel about them, lying on our death bed or not, right? I should be able to tell Kinzie to never give up on her dreams and to let the world see her light, right? I should be able to tell Julie that she is the strongest person I have ever met and that she will see endure, right? I should be able to tell Emma that she deserves the best guy in the world and to ditch that egg head, right? And I should tell Melissa that I am so grateful for her in my life, right? But I should also be able to tell the guy that I am crazy about him how much I do care, right? Well the last one is really really scary. Times like a billion and a half. What I am trying to say in my scrambled thoughts is that we never know when life could suddenly end and that we should never waste a moment. Dare to dream, but don't let the world, keep you from living that dream. I think that's what my dream was about. That or I watch wayyyyy too much Grey's Anatomy for my own good. Dream your heart out! XOXOXo
