The dream that came true
Submitted by: Isabella
Athens, GreeceJust a 17-year-old girl with a lot of dreams and ambitions.
Love has always been what I was searching for. Thanks to “The Secret” I made my dream come true. I am full of happiness and gratitude right now. And a little bit impressed by the power of that movie/book, I can say. Have a look at how things worked out for me.
First of all, I should admit that I was always down to earth and I didn’t use to believe things that didn’t seem logical to me. I have always been a sensible girl. One day, I watched “The Secret”. In fact, my mum insisted on showing it to me. So I decided to listen to her, just for curiosity. I had nothing to lose anyway. I liked the way everything was described but I never believed that I would have so much faith to what I really wanted.
In summer of 2010 I started falling in love with a singer from Serbia, who is pretty popular there. As time passed I was loving him more and more. I never believed that something would happen between us because he is famous and I am just a normal girl. It was painful for me living like this, without hope. There was just a huge desire. So I decided to express my feelings by writing a book. A love story which was about all my dreams about him. I gave it the title “The Dream That Came True” because a 15-year-old girl, me, had the dream to be with that singer. And this happened, in my book. Every chapter was so realistic and I remember I was actually feeling the moment every time I used to write. It was like my second reality, but much happier. I remember myself spending most of the time writing. I just became obsessed with that book because it was the only way to feel close to my dream. Every feeling, every situation was described perfectly. I didn’t understand that this was one of the things that “The Secret” had taught me.
So, almost a year after writing that book -which I haven’t finished yet and I don’t even know if I ever will- I found myself in a new house in a place in Athens not too far from the previous one. It was just a couple of months after the new school year of 2011. Why did we move? Firstly, it was that financial crisis which forced us to buy a smaller house which required lower costs. Secondly, my father who works in the air force had to move to another city of Greece and leave my mother and me on our own. My mother wouldn’t be able to handle all these costs. Thirdly, I didn’t have a good relationship with my classmates on my previous school and I could not stand it anymore. As a result, apart from the house, I changed school. And there was were I met a guy.
He is half year older than me and he has everything I have ever dreamt of. He is tall, blond, with special eyes. He is also thin and he has a baby face. But except for his appearance his character is also what I have been looking for, and this is what I care the most. He is friendly, funny and generous. He is protective and he cares about me a lot. He loves me more than anything and he is always by my side when I need him. He makes beautiful surprises and he is very romantic. His only drawback is that he is insecure sometimes and very sensitive. By the way, I am not sure if it is a drawback or not.
What I am trying to say is that most of the things he has were exactly what I have been describing in that book. Everything else, is even better than what I could imagine. The singer, whom I was describing for so many months was actually that boy that “came to me” so easily, in such a strange way that I could never imagine. However, I have to say that I am not sure if that singer would have all those advantages at last… I used to describe someone who was not him. I used to describe what I wanted him to be. And that person turned to be another boy much better than that celebrity. And I am with him now and I am not able to describe how happy I am.
It seems that “The Secret” had worked on me without me understanding that I was actually doing, what it had taught. I felt my dream so deeply by writing that book so it happened to me. It doesn’t matter how universe and the God would bring this to me, I just had to try.
My advice to everyone: Try to live your desire as much as you can. It doesn’t matter if you can’t believe that it will happen, I couldn’t do that either. Maybe a book will help you too, maybe you will find your own ways. Whatever it will be, I wish from the bottom of my heart that your dreams will come true too…
Love, Bella.
