I had a dream that my boyfriend went back to his ex…I woke up and giggled because you don’t pick up a rock after finding a diamond.

I had a dream that boys would act like men for once…then I woke up.

I had a dream that I could please everyone. Well that will always be a dream, because I find that near to impossible to do.

I had a dream that I had no haters…I woke up missing them.

I had a dream that I was perfect…I woke up and was still perfect. Aw.

I had a dream that I didn’t care anymore…when I woke up I realized that I was stuck with a big heart.

I had a dream that I would be successful and happy in life…I woke up running out of breath, because I’ve been chasing this dream for quite a while now.

I had a dream that I knew it all…but then I woke up and appreciated the fact that I didn’t know everything because then there would be nothing left to discover in life.

Imagine what you’ll know tomorrow

There's always going to be someone as funny as you or funnier.
