The other night, I had a dream and it changed the way that I thought about some things.
All of my friends from school and some random people, some cousins, and some of the cast of the Hunger Games movie were going to this dance/get together thing. It was in a foresty place with a few open stages and walkways in it. I arrived alone, but I met up with this boy. This boy is a real person that I know, but he's just my friend, and I can't reveal who he is.
We started dancing.
Now, as you readers know, I have never been on a date, and I'd always imagined it to be this huge awkward thing and that neither of us would really know what to do.
But that's not what it was like at all. We were just happy to be with each other, and I had this amazing feeling the whole time. It was like how we are normally, but just a little bit better. And we were like that the whole dream.
I woke up and I thought about it for a long time. It was a simple dream, but it was pretty amazing too. Actually, it was one of the best dreams I've ever had. There was no drama. We just liked each other and had a good time.
And that got me thinking... maybe relationships aren't as big a deal as people make them. I've always been afraid of them. Afraid that the guy will hurt me, that I'll hurt him... any number of things. Of course all of that could happen! But, at the very least you had that one night where you danced and you were happy.
Even if you broke each others' hearts in the end.
