Dreams of the Much Younger Me

At different ages and different stages of life, we have different dreams.  When time passes by, some dreams are achieved, some become not important any more, and some are lost in the busy daily life.  At the same time, new dreams arise.  As mentioned in my earlier post, recently I love to read a blog about how a couple work hard to achieve their dreams.  I try to recall the dreams I had years ago and see how many of them have come true by now.

Here are the dreams of a 15-year-old school girl, the much younger me who lived a long time ago:

1. the cute and handsome boy in the class (in a teen girl's dreams there is always a place for a cute and handsome boy)
2. own a Hi-Fi set
3. get high marks in the public exams, and then go to university
4. be rich and attractive
5. be a writer
6. open a book shop
7. travel around the world

These are the dreams that I can recall.  Maybe they are some typical dreams of a teen girl.  Some of them have come true, and some haven't.  I will talk about that later.

The Little Corner on Artfire

In my earlier post I have said that I want to make this blog less business-oriented, but this time I would like to talk about my shop again.  I am happy to announce that The Little Corner has just set up a new shop on Artfire.

I love the design and functions provided by Artfire.  The site is very user-friendly, and I love the setting of the shop so much (Artfire calls a shop a "studio").  As opening an online shop is more like a hobby to me, simply looking at the setting and colours of my Artfire studio is enough to make me happy.  I hope you will also like its design.

Here is a new item from my Artfire shop, and you can also find it from my Etsy shop:

Constant Heart Ring - The Mathematical Constant Pi 3.14159...

3.14159265358979323846264338327950288419716939937510...

Let this mathematical constant symbolises how constant your heart would be.

Getting where

Recently, I have read through a blog titled Getting There, from its very first post to the most recent post. 

The blogger Laura lives with her husband and four little children in Canada.  The blog is about how she moves towards a simple, self-sufficient and meaningful life.   She now lives in a rented condo, and she and her husband work hard for having their homestead some day.

Though the blog is just about the frugal life of a mother of four, I really love this blog.  Laura and her husband have dreams.  They work hard to fulfill their dreams and believe that they will get there.  I love people who have dreams!

Then I think about myself.  Is the recent life is what I have dreamt of?  To where I want to get?  How many dreams of the younger me have come true by now?  And how many dreams have been lost in the busy working life?  Time flies like an arrow, and I don't want to get old with a lot of unfulfilled dreams.  Perhaps I have to spend some time to think about these questions.
