DJ MYSTIC - Castles in the Sky
Today was such a beautiful day outside. I had to open at my job, but that gave me the opportunity to get off of work at noon and I took advantage of the beautiful weather. Right when i walked out of the front door of my work I felt the sun welcome me with its warmth and I felt the brisk Autumn approaching with gentle winds. I know I am 23 years old but my inner child always has to have a chance to reveal herself on a daily basis and I decided to go to the park. I grabbed one of my textbooks and my soccer ball and walked down the road to the park. After exhausting myself; I laid down in the grass and just stared up at the sky and took a moment to myself. Staring at the clouds, I thought I saw a castle in the clouds and then I thought what my life would be like if I lived in a fairy tale and I was a princess. It made me think of the movies I watched when I was a kid: Cinderella, Snow White, The Little Mermaid and Beauty and the Beast.When was my Prince Charming coming for me? Is my life going to be like the fairy tales i read and watched as a child? Is it possible to live in a castle with my prince and live "Happily ever after" or was that something that movies and books portray to keep hope in children that there is a better tomorrow somewhere? Is this the best I can do with my life right now? So much is now running through my mind and all this from a cloud? Wow.
I love how a simple day in the park turns into me questioning myself as a person. The song Castles in the Sky is exactly what i did. I looked up into the sky and started daydreaming. Why i saw that castle in the sky? I don't know why, but that's what I saw and i went with it.
My mind started to travel like Alice did when she fell down that hole and ended up in wonderland. What was real and what was fake. Everything was like a dream; my imagination took a hold and i went with it. I closed my eyes and thought of my life up til now and what I would and could do to change it. All from a cloud in the sky.
The simplest things (like clouds in the sky) can entertain and amuse all. One has to stop and take time for themselves. In a world full of hustle and bustle there is bound to be a breaking point.
Life does have a "Happily ever after" that comes from the choices you make and how you live your life.
Just like the song asks:
Do you ever question your life? Do you ever wonder why?
Do you ever see in your dreams? Are the castles in the sky?
Oh tell me why, do we build castles in the sky?
Everyone is always questioning their lives, I think its in our nature. We always wonder what we could have done differently to get a better result but it is only a guessing game.
I got your first comment!
ReplyDeleteI luv you. 1: You should be a writer.
2. You are very right. Questioning is in our nature. But it is the only way to reinvent ourselves, to rethink our goals and priorities, and to improve ourselves by taking our past mistakes into account. It can be depressing, frustrating, and annoying at times but it's the only way and it is definitely worth it.
I luv you much!
