With time, some dreams live in us while others vanish until we notice them. As a kid, I was a dreamer.
At an early age, my parents supported me to accomplish my goals. For instance, for many years I joined Girls Scouts in elementary school and started to take flute classes but didn’t take it for longer as I joined the band.
When I was in my first year, my parents surprised me with an open-hole flute as a Christmas gift, which was one of my favorite dreams that came true. I belong to the poorest middle house in the town, and I made the second chair in the high band. All the adults were shocked at how perfectly I could play.
I always had a dream of having my open-hole flute for many years, which has better sound quality, and playing the flute improved my life.
Life Can Change Your Childhood Dreams at an Early Age
Unluckily, my abuser (an elementary school teacher) circulated a piece of paper written with a lot of lies about me, and her assistant made sure that I lost the chair and could never get it back.
My life and goals were dusted when the abuser destroyed my childhood dream, and I also lost the opportunity of a musical scholarship.
Our childhood dreams change as we grow. As I found other musicians, I refused to meet Debbie Gibson.
Anyhow, Some Dreams Continue
I already have been successful in accomplishing some of my dreams, such as being appointed as an elementary teacher in one of the top colleges in town. On the other hand, some of my wishes went to archaeological or paleontological digs.
Gradually, I was successful in writing a book. Others I discovered when I was on a tour with my best friend, my sister.
I was not merely planning for the move when I was going to the country in the middle of July. But I wanted to spend much time with my loved ones in my home state of Montana.
The next move of my life brought up some emotional moments in life, but I was thrilled to be with my family and friends beyond the country, and definitely, my world will seem different. I felt heartbreaking; I knew that I would miss my beloved friends and family here.
I knew that I had to return here, where I spent most of my childhood years and shared a lot of memories with my siblings at my home. But soon, I realized that it was time to move on in life.
We have to face a lot of challenges as we get older. My goodness, it’s so hard for me to sell the number of books that made me sorrowful, but the fact is that it’s too expensive to take them.
Thus, sadness hits with even little tasks like this.
One’s world is changed with a move. I’m letting go of my past with confidence and moving ahead with hope.
As Kids, it is Hard to Understand the Objective Your Life Will Go
A collection of old memories flashes as I clean up all the backups from my job and entire life. When I opened the boxes, the letters and drawings reminded me of prior students.
I feel nostalgic whenever I go through the stuffed toy that my grandmother gave me on my birthday. It takes me back to those days with sweet and bitter memories.
For me, it was so hard to decide what I had to keep and what to let go. Because some decisions can be painful and hard to take. It is necessary to make space for new events and keep some great memories.
Understanding Childhood Dreams
It is necessary to keep your inner child alive through dreaming, resting, and taking care of yourself. I got an opportunity to travel to Bozeman, from where I got my doctorate. It is no longer an easy and cheap place to live as it used to be in the past. And it made me sad to know the fact that it is no longer a place to feel nostalgia.
My drive to the west was the most lively vibe I had in years. The mountains, the rivers, and the flowers were so breathtaking. I experienced the joy and overwhelmed feeling that revived my soul.
My ride to Virginia City is memorable. I wanted to visit this place since I heard about ghost stories and its history. I roamed around the city, and it was a fun day to remember.
To know more about the mining city, I purchased a book where I studied about the violence and corruption stories revolving around the city.
Turning Dreams into Vision
Fulfilling one of my childhood dreams, I embark on Ruby River Reservoir. The level of water was high, but that was not my concern until I searched for garnets, which I thought I could find more if the water was less. But I realized sooner that I was not dreaming.
On my way back to I-90, I witnessed a beautiful scene of mountains surrounding the valleys and villages connected to the roads and more. I felt like I embraced nature.
I remember the peace of having a drink in the countryside full of energy and positive vibes. I would like to write about the back lanes, which are gorgeous.
After that, I went to interstate. And I saw a beautiful rainbow. When I returned to the cabin, I felt so sleepy and went to sleep. This was full of excitement.
Dreams Can Be Achieved At Any Age
I woke up early, with the beautiful singing of the birds, and it was the exact day that we decided to head towards Gem Mountain.
When I was in 3rd grade, the gifted and talented program (GATE) at my school had some grant money, so we had an actual program. I was placed with the 4th-6th graders. My favorite unit was the rocks and minerals unit. I always had rocks in my pockets, room, and pretty much everywhere.
A talented program (GATE) was held in my school when I was in 3rd grade; they gifted some grant money so that we hold an actual program and I was adjusted with sixth-grade students. Minerals and Rocks was my favorite chapter. And I kept rocks with me everywhere.
I got super excited when my teacher surprised us with Sapphire Mine. The students started pushing each other while the gravel poured all over the place. I started to sort out all Sapphire and got tiny ones. This helped me to achieve success.
I learned the characteristics of rocks and minerals. And stored them to keep them for good days to remember. But unfortunately, my mother unconsciously threw them in the garbage while doing house cleaning. It made me sad, and I promised to find new ones with the help of my friends and my dreams.
At the Mountain of Gem, we can only buy the basket of gravel from the mine. The gravel was already previewed because some companies sell larger sapphires rather than small ones.
Firstly, I headed toward gravel, picked them one by one, and placed them in a rectangular box with a screen on the bottom. Then, I went to the waterspout and washed the gravel; much of the dirt was sunk.
At last, I turned over the box and assembled the gravel with tongs to fetch the sapphires.
It was the most amazing experience. It was fun work, but with COVID, I felt fatigued after a few hours.
I had a lot of sapphires of different colors, like rare pink, blue, green, and yellow as well. Almost half of the sapphire was less than a carat, but I was glad that I had one sapphire over a carat.
I want to use these sapphires in jewelry one day. I would gift my future spouse a ring made with the real gem of my home state, Montana.
Bannock Ghost Town was the last point on this trip that was finally fulfilled. I was so excited to visit that place; I didn’t know how to express my feelings. I want to say that I just loved it and always wanted to go back to this place.
Bannock has many preserved buildings with substantial energy and ghosts around. It was everything that I imagined a ghost town could be.
It is said that Bannock Ghost Town has some spirits; it has many conserved buildings with real energy surrounded by ghosts. It was the most ghostly place I have ever imagined.
Be Thankful To Your Dreams And The Life You Have
I feel so grateful to have her in my life. She and I had so much fun, made beautiful memories, and spent time together. We shared a lot of beautiful moments that I could see forever as memories. I don’t have words to say thanks to her, and I’m going to miss her badly.
A few months ago, if you asked me how many of my childhood dreams came true, literally I didn’t have a single word to say.
I didn’t have any idea that it could ever happen. But all thanks to her for being here for me. Finally, it’s time to include these fulfilled dreams in my list.
You still have time to accomplish your dreams; there is no age limit to fulfill your dreams. So, grab this opportunity; it’s not too late.
