Dream

             Its funny to me because I don't always think about what it is I want all the time but I do have to say that there are a few things in life I can think of that I probably want. I think I will begin with happiness. I guess that would stem to a lot of other things though. I think that is what a dream is. It is complete happiness. Something inside you that may or may not have come to pass already but you hope or have hoped it to. I have always been good at fixing things so when I think about what I would like to do the rest of my life I think to myself "Phillip your good at fixing things so why don't you do this the rest of your life". But I just don't know if that is what is going to make Phillip happy. One thing I know I would love to do is make music. Oh my god I love to make music. it is the one thing I completely understand and can feel flowing through my soul at any given moment. I started playing the piano when I was just a wee lad. I loved playing on it. I would read the notes but most of the time I would just beat the keys like I was in a trance, a perfect trance that separated my body from my soul and I would look down upon myself as I was amidst the air and fall in love with the relationship that I saw before me. I began playing the violin and guitar in fifth grade and boy let me tell you I enjoyed them both but the guitar was my kind of soul. At the time I thought it was kind of hard playing the guitar, but with persistence and practice I gradually got better and learned that it wasn't so hard after all. I have always sang, I don't know if it's the country boy inside me or the church I grew up with but its always been a real comforter just to be able to kick back and play some tunes on my guitar and sing. I used to want to be in a band, but now I am not sure if I want that or not. I do know I would like to continue doing something with music. I think as far as everything else is concern I will take whatever god wishes for me to have.
