Rose & Kat | S1Ep1.8 | The Dream’s place

 PORTUGUÊS | ENGLISH   

[...]

After the beach, we went back to school to pick up our backpacks and then headed home.

While doing my homework, I couldn’t stop thinking about what Joan had said: - You're really talented. Have you ever thought about making a few pieces to sell?”

Joan and her ideas...

Even though she had said it in a joke tone, the idea had captivated me. When I closed my eyes, I could picture a space filled with my creations. The more I dreamed, the bigger the dream became… Fashion shows, photo shoots, catalogues filled with my designs...


As soon as I opened my eyes, reality settled in. I knew it would be impossible. So why dream about it?!

Because, at least in my dreams, I could have a refuge for my desires. A space of my own, where reality could meet the fantasies I long most to bring to life.

I wasn’t brave and fearless like Joan. To make this dream come true, I would have to be the centre of attention, and for me, that’s worse than a horror movie. My whole body freezes, and I lose control.

That is my greatest fear.

And my fears and doubts were sometimes strong enough to make me doubt myself.

I make things for myself because I know what I like. If I were making them to sell, I wouldn’t know where to start.

It’s just another one of Joan’s ideas. A silly idea, I know!

But I didn’t have much time to dwell on it because this week was absolute flurry!

With Joan’s birthday approaching, between classes, training, band rehearsals, and preparing for exams, I still managed to find time to make her birthday present and join the girls in helping decorate the party.

It’s turning out amazing, with so many little details, exactly the way Joan likes it.

She had theories about practically everything, and when it came to parties, one of her favourites was that the little details were what made all the difference.

For Joan, going over every detail two or three times isn’t a sacrifice, it’s dedication. And that’s how she makes sure everything turns out exactly as she imagined it.

Her birthday party was going to be “perfect”, in her own words!

With care, Rose
