Yesterday a Dream, Today a Reality
I walked with the crowd and I saw someone whose face is just like mine.
She was wearing a black outfit paired with black and white chucks.
She stood in greatness of her own confidence and independence.
Freedom defines the beauty of her success.
I observed her stance and dreamt of her as me.
I followed her steps until where she suddenly stopped.
She turned around and looked at me and gave me a little smile.
And suddenly… I became her.
Have you ever seen yourself through the eyes of someone you have become?

One evening, I was in coffee dream café. I was reading a Murakami book over a cup of cappuccino when I suddenly remember something.
Few years ago, way back in college I was this ordinary college girl who had so much ambition. I have lots of daydreaming imagining who I’m going to be in the future. One moment, I pictured out myself. A fresh graduate who will find a job earlier than she thought, she will be waking up early and fix herself and walk along with fellow young professionals in the streets of downtown. When she arrive in her office she will be working with her stuff then late afternoon she will drop by to some grocery store, buy her needs and sit awhile in a coffee shop reading a book, drawing some images or reflect about her day, then she would go home and end her day fulfilled.
That moment it was all just a dream, an unreachable imagination… But now I am seeing every inch of it unfolding before my eyes.
