If I had a million dollars.....

If I had a million dollars, I would probably first buy a house. Maybe two-stories or three, one that I will be able to do whatever I wish and fit whoever I want, however I want. If I had a million-dollars, I would then drop out of college, not worry about the burden of paying ridiculously high tuition and travel around the world. I would seek out the wonders of the world, discover how vast and awesome the world can be, start with the United States of America and move on to the other countries and islands of the world, climb some mountains, chill at remote beach resorts, try exotic foods, party it up in places, meet a diverse portion of the 6.8 billion people on earth. If I had a million dollars, my life would be simple as can be, no worrying about finding a job for the time being, buying rings for a special someone, planning for an extravagant bachelor party/wedding bash, supporting a future family, visiting relatives. If I had a million dollars, I would probably buy three mediocre cars, one Camry, one suburban, one CR-V and take some cross country road trips. And in the end, if I have any money left over, I would probably give the rest to charity. Then I would continue dreaming about having another million dollars while worrying about retirement and the dying social security. But life is not a game and there is no time chasing dreams. We all have to take action to get somewhere. Yet we all tend to chase dreams at some point in our lives when there is nothing else to take refuge upon. So all we can do is hope that no matter what happens, a dream will still be there. But dreams do come true. Martin Luther King Jr. can attest to that if he were still alive today. But once you achieve a dream, you want more, and as the world changes and a person changes, dreams change. So maybe a year from now, I would have different ambitions, dreams, and naturally forget the dreams I had a year ago. Ultimately, all one can do is wake up, snap back to reality and live for the moment so that maybe one day, a dream can and will become a reality without one knowing. Besides, if you think about it, realistically, a million dollars nowadays and into the future, is not even that much anymore when put into perspective, and the reality of it all, can become a dream again. 






On another reality check, my summer in Houston ends in 108 hours.
