I've been rearranging letters for recreation and recompense since I was 10. there hasn't been any money yet, but I'm keeping the faith.

I like taking walks. I don't do it often and definitely don't have a schedule. But, sometimes I just feel like taking a walk. I just put on my Birks and see where my feet take me. I try to stay on one side of the street bcuz I have had a few experiences where I have come quite close to certain death bcuz I walked onto a street without looking around. That is because on many of these walks, I dream.

I am dreamer. I dream of better times. I dream abt what I would have done if I was given such an oppotunity or if I could do this or that. Or what I would do different if put in such and such a situation again. I like dreaming. It gives me hope.

My life isn't bad but it isn't good either. Like most university students, I am surrounded by debt and the prospect of more debt accumulating over the next seven years is frightening.

I have acheived many of my dreams too. So, I have a belief in them. They are my crystal ball to the future. In this case though, I have a huge say in what comes true and what fades away into memory.

So, last night I took a long walk. Dreaming all the while. I dreamt of what I would do if I ever had enough money to buy a sports franchise. I decided that I would try to buy the Toronto Maple Leafs... my favourite team. I dreamt for two hours, playing out situations and scenarios in my mind. I came back home with a huge smile on my face and future looking much less darker.

Yes, it is safe to say that I like dreaming. The key is to realise that a dream is not reality. However, with hard work, it can be.
