Crazy Dreams

The Blogtober prompt for today is Favorite Quote.

I have a sketch book full of quotes I have jotted down whether from songs, famous people, the bible, books, poems, or even my own head.  But it is so very hard to choose a favorite. 

When I first read this prompt the first thing that came to mind are the lyrics to Crazy Dreams by Carrie Underwood. I wouldn't even say it's my favorite song but I love the lyrics. 

Hello you long shots

You dark horse runners

Hairbrush singers, dashboard drummers

Hello you wild magnolias

Just waiting to bloom

...

Tree climbers, porch swingers, air guitar players

Here's to you fearless dancers, shaking walls in your bedrooms 

There's a lot of wonder left inside of me and you

Thank God even crazy dreams come true

Here is a link to the song on Youtube.

I love the lyrics to this song because I feel like it applies to everything I am doing here in Chicago. I used to just be this little kid who would reenact scenes from plays, sing into my hair brush, and teach myself how to do the dances from West Side Story alone in my room. And here I am in Chicago saving pennies to pursue this dream that I can't even quite put my finger on. All I know is that I want to learn as much as I can! I want to learn to play guitar, to dance, and to sing. I want to become a better writer, comedian, artist, and person.

I listen to this song sometimes when I am feeling like my dreams are so big and the chances of success are so small. But it is nice to remember that sometimes even crazy dreams do come true!
