" You know that place between sleep and awake; that place where you can still remember dreaming? That's where I will always love you. That's where I will always be waiting."

--Peter Pan.

When I read this quote, I read it and think about it in so many different ways. In one way, that's childhood. Peter Pan is childhood. And childhood is always in between being asleep and awake. And then I think about dreaming. And I think about how this can mean the dreaming where you dream you will meet your true love and ride horses off into the sunset and live a flawless life. Or the dream where you actually dream bizarre and crazy things in your sleep. Or the dream that is a wish your heart makes. And I also sometimes think about the person who is saying, that's where I will always love you and where I will always be waiting and I think about my husband I haven't met yet. My true love. And how he is one of my dreams, and maybe thats where he will love me until I meet him someday. And then he'll love me in every aspect and form of my dreaming. He will become my dream come true.

Basically this quote gives me hope, and happiness, and comfort. And it makes me a kid and it makes me hold out for the guy who can let me be a kid when I want to. And this quote reminds me to never ever settle for a guy less than the guy of your dreams. It reminds me to never compromise myself to be something I think a guy wants or would like. It makes me dream and wish and wish fervently. And I'm not ashamed of that. I love Peter Pan. And I believe in his existence. I believe in childhood. I believe in dream come trues. Do you?

Oh, also, it makes it ten times better that Peter and Wendy in real life got married. Thats a dream that came true. And it makes me happy because they're perfect for each other and they're still kids, and I love it.
