#iDareToDream

Hi everyone, thanks for taking the time to read my blog. This week I’m going to tell you a bit more about myself, my dreams, interests and aspirations.

TV is a passion!

I’m no different to any other guy my age, TV is a big part of my life, watching Netflix and YouTube is an activity that my conditions don’t affect. There for I fully make the most of that LOL, one of my favourite things to watch is Stranger Things, I’ve just finished season 3. The things I enjoy about Stranger Things is the fictional storyline which takes me away from the real world, I especially love the bond and friendship between the characters.

Another viewing interests of mine is watching YouTube videos, I enjoy watching people play FIFA career mode, I know it’s not everyone’s cup of tea, but I enjoy playing FIFA so I have an appreciation for what I'm watching, here’s a link to one of those videos for anyone else who is interested here's a link to a playlist.

Videos are a big part of my life

I also enjoy funny videos, I love watching things that make me laugh, laughing can really help improve my feelings, and funny videos is one thing YouTube is not short of, here’s one of my favorite funny videos, here is a link for you. Another favorite of mine is a YouTube channel called What Would You Do?. In this channel they perform social experiments using actors out in public and recording reactions and behaviors from the public. I find this interesting to see how people react in real life situations, it’s heart warming to see strangers care and look out for each other and to stand up and do the right thing. If you haven’t seen What would you do? here’s a link.... click here

I have dreams too

As I mentioned earlier, I’m no different to many other guys my age, in that I have dreams of what I would like in the future and how life could be. Later in life I like to have a family of my own, I would like to find someone who would accept me for who I am and love me all the same. I would love to be a Doctor; they have helped me throughout all my life, and I’d love to help someone else in the same way. I’d love to travel Around Australia and/or Africa on safari, and visit new York on new year’s eve. One of my favourite artists is ED Sheeran, listening to his music helps lift my mood.


Everybody should have dreams and aspirations and I’m no different. Some may seem far fetched or impossible but if you don’t try you’ll never know, don’t ever give up on your dreams even if you don’t think they can be achieved, our dreams can take us to a better place in our minds, a place without the lows and worries in life and can give us hope and moments of happiness. Remember you only live once, try and be the best version of yourself.
