In that moment right before bed when all the make-up is gone and my hair is beautifully disheveled. That's when I feel like I could conquer the world.

Dream A Little Dream
I'm the first to admit that I'm a bit of a dreamer at heart. I have this very idyllic vision of what my future will be like once everything falls into place and world peace has been realized.
I imagine coming home to my dream house and being greeted by my dogs Roscoe (a Boston Terrier) and Lola (French Bulldog)
(Which I do not yet own)
And right behind them will be the man of my dreams
You know, some guy I met at the gym with "Brad Pitt's face and Jesus' abs."
(Yes, I did just swipe that from 500 Days of Summer...sue me)
And instantly feeling at peace. Like everything is suddenly perfect in this crazy little universe.
I imagine us always having stimulating conversation and never ever fighting.
Nope, no raised voices in this fantasy.
Sure we'll argue, but it'll be over stupid stuff like what is The Beatles greatest song (it's Blackbird...don't even try to argue this one with me) or whether we should order Chinese or Indian for dinner.
It'll be perfect.
But, at the back of my mind I always know that this is not how it's going to be. I know we'll have good nights where maybe the fantasy will seem completely real...
But there will also be nights when there will be yelling and fighting and I'll sink down onto the cold bathroom floor in tears.
There will be bad times
There always are
But there are also times that you wouldn't trade for anything in the world. And those are the ones that keep you going.
And when good memories aren't enough to pull you out of a slump, there's no harm in doing a little daydreaming on the side
Which reminds me....
I should probably start going to the gym

Welcome!!!
Hello!
My name is Lauren, and you are the lucky person who has stumbled upon my blog!
Exciting, right?
I've done blogs before, but I have big and exciting plans for this one!
(drum roll)
I'm going to actually share the things I LOVE on this blog!
(Probably not what you were expecting...sorry about that)
This is actually a pretty big deal for me. You see, I have this horrible fear of sharing. I know that sounds weird, but just follow along for a sec.
Whenever I find something I love, be it a song, poem, or piece of art, I have this intense desire to protect it from the rest of the world, like it's my child. I fear that if I send it out into the world that other people won't appreciate it and love it like I do or heaven forbid... make fun of it. But like any parent understands, you can't keep your child locked away their entire lives so from this day forward, I promise to share all the wonderful music I come across, the lovely pictures I discover, and most of all, I promise to share ME!
That last part is actually another big deal for me. Every blog I've ever had has barely ever focused on me. I don't like to share a lot about myself, but I've been doing a little soul searching and I've decided that I'm a pretty cool person. I'm a little awkward at times and love incredibly retarded stuff but I have a pretty interesting voice and it's about time that it's heard.
Again, I'd like to thank you for stumbling on over to my little neck of the internet and hope you like what you see. And even if you don't, that's ok. Just go and find something else that you like instead. Life's too short to spend your precious time looking at stuff you hate.
