“Second star to the right and straight on 'til morning. ”

Away we go, away we fly, to our imaginations, to a place in our minds that's safe, and is available to no one else but you. An escape from reality as it t'were, I think we all have somewhere like that, with our own special way to get there. Mine is a quite little spot in the very back of my mind, I arrive there right before I fall into the dream state. It's special and warm, all floaty and it's mine, and only who I allow to be in it is there. My friends, a couple family members, my pony and a couple of other things that I cherish. That's my Neverland and it's just past the point where I start to laugh uncontrollably, the turning point right after so slap happy beyond belief. It's a place where I will say ANYTHING, but most importantly. It's my place.
Neverland. Let's just ponder that for a moment if you don't mind. Neverland, one word. BIG meaning. A place where children WILL dream, to make their day dreams come true. I think I always wished to go there, I mean who doesn't want to see mermaids, or be able to fly? I would, wouldn't you?
Peter is some people's Neverland, he's their second star to the right and straight on till morning. Just past sanity and a right at reasoning. A boy who can fly? I mean who thinks of this stuff? Someone who still holds onto their childhood with an iron fist that's who. J.M. Berrie wrote about a boy who could fly, who had a fairy for a best friend, someone who fought pirates, a boy of legends, a boy that every young person somedays dreams of being.
I'm seventeen, I should be all grown up, but look at that, I'm not, one year till I'm legal; hardly any plans for what to do, but for me; I think that's where I need to be, I take things as they come to me, not the other way around. I used to be a planner, but everything kinda fell apart all around me. I said ''screw planning, I'm gonna do this my way" my dream state then took over, I follow my heart when I make decisions, because my future is only what I make my present to be. Some people like to live in the past, but the past is what has shaped me to be who I am now, in the PRESENT. My present will mold my future, not the other way around. I can't live like my future will change my present. Because it won't and I'm sorry if that's how you (my readers((if I even have any))) think.
A dream state, (Neverland) is where my dreams are taken to be accounted for, to live in harmony with each other, for me to pick and choose which one I would like to use.  Where my dreams are SAFE from people who want to discourage me, or throw me off the path of my success, my dreams that will carry me though life.
Now let us not become confused for a second. I'm in no way saying that my dreams are the only guidelines to my life, because if that was true then I would have everything that I want; sadly however I don't. I have what I have though hard work and dedication. I pick a dream and I stick with it, until it's no longer a dream but it's a true reality. Then I can replace it with a new dream, a new mission.
Maybe someday my dream state will be empty, but with any luck, I'll get married someday, have kids and then have dreams for them. I never want to go to my dream state one night, right before I drift off to sleep and find that there's nothing there anymore. I want to be a dreamer forever, because right now I AM a dreamer.
