jessie's dreams

My moms say that my dreams are "impractical", and I need to have a back-up plan. They say that the chances of my dreams being a reality are "one-in-a-million", and that they'll probably only ever be dreams. That doesn't stop me from dreaming, though. 
If you read my last blog post, "jessie's future", you'll know that in 10 years I'll be living a relatively practical life. However, believe it or not, that exciting, post-Berkeley, single L.A. girl life is only the back-up plan. My dreams have much more in store.
In an alternate universe, jessie's future looks like this:

 I woke up to the California summer breeze coming through my French doors and Cookie licking my hand (Cookie gets to stay, he's one of my dreams). I walked out of my spacious master bedroom and down the stairs, feeling particularly grateful this morning for my huge, beautiful coastline home. I brought in the mail, along with 3 big boxes from Tarte, Anastasia Beverly Hills, and Nars. Every day I got 3 or 4 large packages with free makeup from popular brands. Working for Beyonce had its perks, am I right? 

 Basically, my dream is to have my own makeup line. I'll have started out by doing makeup for someone iconic, like Beyonce, but then I'll have gone on my own and created my own makeup. I'll live in a beautiful home and treat myself and buy expensive clothes and live that lush life, if you know what I mean. It sounds really stupid, but I love makeup. I think it's like an art form. I really tried for a long time to think of other things I would be just as happy with doing, but makeup is what I want to do with my life. And I think I'm kind of good at it, too. I know that it's completely impractical, I hear that all the time, but I feel like if that's really, really what I want to do with my life, I should pursue it, even if people don't support me. I don't want to do something I'm unhappy with and spend my life wondering if things could be different. 
Update***
Ok so I was lowkey stalking my own blog and rereading all of my posts, and can I just say that my writing has improved so much? Also, I realize now that these dreams are really superficial. All I want now is contentment and a life filled with love and laughter. That's all. Oh, and BTW, I don't wanna go to Berkeley anymore, just in case you were wondering (which you weren't).

    I love the enthusiasm and how much detail you put into what you want as your dream future.

jessie's soundtrack of a lifetime

Image
For this week's blog post, our assignment was to compile a playlist that essentially explains your life. Morals, milestones, memories, whatever we wanted. So, I picked some songs that represent me. Maybe the way they make me feel, maybe some misty eyes, we'll probably do a little walk down memory lane, too. Enjoy! Wake Me Up  - Avicii I chose Wake Me up because it was my unit's theme song at camp. By theme song, I mean that whenever we were waiting for something to start, we listened to it. And when we were eating breakfast, we listened to it. And when we were walking somewhere, we listened to it. And guess what we did during dinner? Before bed? Brushing our teeth? We listened to this song. All the time, 24/7, everywhere. We even came up with a set of hand motions to go with it. It never got old. On our last  Shabbat,   at around midnight after dancing, all 95 of us sat squashed together like sardines on our platform/meeting place/I don't even know it was just our g

jessie's wish list

Image
For this week's blog post, I was going to make a legitimate list of things on my wish list for the holidays. But, halfway through, I realized that was going to be a really boring post to read. So, instead, I'm going to list a few things I want for other people and that I am lucky enough to have.  I think this is a much better topic for my post, because I realize that me and my friends focus a lot on the materialistic things that we don't have. This makeup product, and that t-shirt; and these jeans and that necklace. We forget how lucky we are to have things like joy, and support, and love; and some people don't have these wonderful gifts. So, without further ado, here is a list of things I wish upon others for this holiday season. 1. I want my sister to be happy - s he has some trouble with that sometimes. 2. I want parents to know that they're really doing ok, and that we love you - even though sometimes we don't show it. 3. I want relief for people in

jessie's diary

July 4, 2017 Dear diary, Today was the second day of our canoe trip. After we got to the campsite and lugged all of our canoes onto the beach, Bender insisted that we all follow him without question. We all love Bender, everyone thinks he's the best counselor, so of course we did.  After floating with our lifejackets downstream for more than ten minutes cluelessly, Bender motioned for us to follow him onto a beach. It was obviously private property, and there was a massive party going on in the secluded cabin on this random beach. We continued after Bender farther into the woods and we found a stream. He literally made us walk upstream even further  into the woods, and we were all looking at each other like, "Is he crazy?" as we walked. And then we all stopped.  Right in front of us was the most beautiful scene. A waterfall surrounded by trees, light creeping in between the leaves and illuminating the clear water. Cliffs on either side, and rocks perfect for sit
