B day_ DAYDream
Hoping my daydream can reach to you….
Twenty years have passed since I left my familiar homeland, holding dreams in my heart, and embarked on a journey. I remember the first night in Dijon, France, in February 2004. Exhausted from the long journey, I fell asleep on the bed still wearing my coat, without any blankets, and that night, I remember dreaming of someone warmly embracing me from behind, a dream that didn’t feel like a dream.
The Miraculous things filled my life time in Paris for seven and half year. I was living in my dream under yellow glow of lights.
I remember the first day I arrived in New York from Paris, holding a big luggage in one hand and a cat carrier in the other hand. On March 17, 2011, as a birthday present to myself in my mid-thirties, I chose a plane ticket to New York. The neon lights of Times Square felt like the beginning of announcing my new journey, and I began to dream in different colors.
I want dreaming until the lights in my brain fade and memories blur. Even in such moments, I hope to dream.
B Day is a gift from God. They make me ponder how much love I’ve received and how happy I am. Dreams from the past have become reality, and now they are part of my everyday life.
I’m making a little memories of each year on these Bday ear cuffs.
Hope my daydream can reach to you.
