I have a dream…
Time is flying…however…the next day is quite similar to the previous one…it sometimes feels like time would have stopped in a way… as if I would wake up and the same day would start over and over again…like in this movie called “Groundhog Day”…or…some other times…I feel like the world is starting to get nuts and that all is going too quickly for me outside…so I am almost scared that…at some point…I may have to go back there as well…I may have to be part of the bad craziness outside of my bubble…
…I have a dream that one day I will be on a beach again…do my yoga while watching the sunrise -or most probably the sunset 😉…have my head and my hair into the sea -I didn’t allow myself to always enjoy it before…just because I didn’t want to ruin my brushing!! No time anymore for stupid behaviours 😊…that I will feel the sun on my skin…while my feet play with the soft sand…that my imaginative brain will be free and create a world around the clouds’ shapes…that I will close my eyes and hear the sound of the sea…that the smells of the beach will mix with the exotic smell of the sunscreen…
…I have a dream that, when I will go back to reality, the world will be a more peaceful place…that kindness will be recognized as a beautiful and rare quality again…that people won’t refer to discrimination against women, against ethnic minorities but rather that we won’t need to even talk about discrimination or quotas or categories of people anymore…that the word “democracy” will be used in its best way…based on its real meaning again…
…I have a dream that people won’t wish their neighbours would lose their jobs…that we won’t be given lessons by those who think they are perfect…that people will stop being stupid…selfish…that they will understand that life is too short to even spend one minute not enjoying it fully…
…I have a dream that I will always be able to cheer up people I love…that I will help people who I can bring something to -since the monster got diagnosed, in fact, I am praying every night that I can become a better version of me…for me and for the others…let’s hope my prayers can be heard 😊
…I have a dream that I will wake up and go to “The Laundry” café in my street…that I will chat with the nice waitress…that I will take my bag…my sunglasses… and that I will walk to Brixton market and buy some candles…and some silly cards for my friends…that I will smell the Ethiopian food…the fresh croissants…that I will smile and dream watching people kissing…laughing…that I will feel light and happy having a delicious morning in my neighbourhood…that I will get changed and take the tube -yes…I even miss taking the tube!!...that I will meet a friend at Shoreditch House for a brunch…that we will walk through the vintage markets in Brick Lane…that we will decide to buy silly clothes…that we will plan our next weekend break…
…I have a dream that my healthy food will get ready by itself…that my flat will self-clean…that I can do cardio without sweating or even without having to go on the bike…that my stomach will remain flat after having eaten half of my bread…nobody said I am not allowed to have silly dreams!
…I have a dream that my body will be healed…that I will always remain in great health…that I will never be scared of disease again…that I will always have hopes…that I will always have faith…that I will always have dreams!
…I have a dream that I will now be able to fully enjoy…and forever…the “being single together with you” type of relationship -to make a long story short: still being very independent while being soooo connected and so close 😉- with THE man of my life…that this man will always be my best friend…my lover…my anchor…my partner in crime…my inspirations…that this time I will give this man my trust…that I will be right to have been waiting quite a long time before finding the right person for me…and finally the right time…that I will be able to demonstrate that…yes…I might be crazy sometimes…but that I may also be right to believe in my dreams…
…I have a dream that I will always be thankful to my family and friends who gave me so much love and support those last few months…that I will be able to hug every member of the “team Aurélie”…that I will always be there for them as well…that I will organise a big party with all of them…like a wedding but without being one…just to celebrate my waking up!
…I have a dream that I will dress up…that I will go to the opera…that I will cry watching a ballet in Soho…that it will be followed by the most delicious restaurant meal…and that the evening will end with dancing bar feet on the bar…
…I have a dream that I will wake up and that my path will appear so clear in front of me…that I will be able to work on making all those dreams happen!
