The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams // Catching your dreams

Hey there!

As you can see then this post has quite a deep title so I recommend you to get your snorkels out, just kidding, stop it, you're not funny!

But first of all, new year's resolution fail! One of my resolutions was to blog more often, and also in my mind I told myself that I'll make atleast 1 post per week. *Checks the blog homepage* last post was made on 2nd January! But that's not entirely my fault, my computer is pretty much on his death bed right now which means that there's very limited list of things I can do with it, uploading/saving pictures isn't one of them and since most posts that I want to do come with pictures then you can kinda figure it out from here. I know it's a poor apology but that's all I got for now really. This is also the reason of this post, I can't publish any reviews or anything and I've actually wanted to talk about this subject for quite a while so yeah :) On the other hand I've been pretty good with keeping my other resolutions so I'm not gonna beat myself up for that one fail. 

Onto the main theme now. I've been working with my biggest dream for the past months now, and that dream is becoming an exchange student. I suppose that some of you have never heard of anything like this? 

Well to make a short summary then it is a year (or well, 9 months) of studying, meeting new people, experiencing new things, learning a different language and lots of other amazing stuff, ABROAD. 

For a long time I thought I can't do this, I'm gonna say right away that it is not easy, you have to really want to do this, that's what it's all about - wanting all that and working for it. But it all pays off since after you've gone through the technical or hard things you can literally go and enjoy life :) And the actual journey until the day you step on your plane is really fun too. In Estonia and lots of other countries (60 in total!) there's this amazing thing called YFU (youth for understanding) which is mainly organized by girls and boys who have been through this amazing year, and they're not old people, more like 17-20 something, I suppose. I'm not gonna write anything else about YFU here but I might do a whole seperate post on it some day. But basically I'm going to Belgium in 2015/2016 (that is if I get the money)

Now more about following and catching your dreams. Besides becoming an exchange student I have had and I still have lots of other, smaller dreams. Coming back to the exchange student theme. From when I first heard about this opportunity I have always dreamt that one day there will be an exchange student in our class too and now quite recently I found out that there is a girl from Sweden who wants to join our class, so I guess I can kind of count it as a dream come true (feels good to say that, doesn't it!)

And also you can call things on your bucket list as your dreams, and if you'd now click on my bucket list (before I die) then you can see that I've had the joy to cross down quite a few from there :)

I've also always wanted a friend from some other country and now I have quite a few that I talk to, but there's one girl who I have grown quite close to :) 

All these things seem like small dreams but once you fulfill them, you feel like you've accomplished something big, wether it's buying an expencive lipstick or making a new friend.

So what I'm trying to say here is never quit on your dreams. As life has taught me, everything can happen (unless your one and only dream is to become a unicorn or something, which is also perfectly fine, just...you get my point)

You never know what tomorrow brings but you just have to sprint after your dreams. Don't just follow them, when you follow something, you will always see it but never catch it but when you go after something with a determined mind and no intention to stop then you're gonna most likely to catch it :)

Ofcourse I have many other drems that still need catching and this is what I try to do, even the smallest steps build the way for you to eventually catch your dreams. 

Have a beautiful, magical, wonderful day!
