  54. Omg I haven't even thought about a dream for this year until I saw your question. I have goals like graduate from college, finish a granny square blanket (I just taught myself to crochet) and Just craft more in general, but I don't consider those dreams. I want to get engaged but I have no control over that(I do but choose not to ask), I ant to move out of my parents after graduation, but again these are not great earth shattering dreams. I feel that a dream is something you yearn for and you hope they happen but with a goal you work for it and not just wish it to happen so I guess this is why I don't have dreams for this year just wants & goal.
