Dream

Last year I dreamed of having a beautiful dress because there was a homecoming dance coming up. I never really had a pretty dress, or anything. It was one of the first biggest dances I would ever attend. My mom knew that I wanted to go to the dance, yet she forbid to take me shopping. She didn't have the time or money. I would ask her constantly if we could go dress shopping. One day she finally decided to give in and she took me to go look for dresses. We went every where looking for dresses, yet found nothing. I had no luck finding a dress that I liked, by that time I was getting frustrated and just wanted to leave. Well then we went into the last store for the day and I actually found a dress afterall. I tried the dress on and it fit and looked great. I;m always self conscious, but for once in my life I actually felt beautiful and special. The dress was long and almost an electric blue. It was a strapless dress and had sequins on the top half of the dress. It was sily towards the middle and then was full on the bottom. I swear it must have been the most gorgeous dress that I have ever seen. It was every girls dream to wear the most beautiful dress. I then looked at the price tag and realized that the answer would be a no. When i looked at the price my mom looked at me and already could tell that it was too expensive, just by the look on my face. She already had an answer planned, "No." i was very upset and disappointed because I knew I would never find anything like this again. It was my first real dance and I wanted everything to be perfect, but nothing's ever perfect. All i wanted was that dress and I ended up not getting it. I was completely crushed, and thought I;d never get over it. Although I did. By that time I was feeling extremely guilty about everything that happened. I knew my mom felt bad that she couldn't afford it and it wasn't her fault. I just was being way too selfish and wanted everything. I was wrong and realize that you can't get everything in life. So I ended up going to the dance. I wore my Aunt Lynette's dress which was black and white. It still was very pretty, yet it did not compare to the dream dress I wanted. The dance ended up being a blast and I didn't even care what I was wearing anymore. All that mattered was that I had a great time, and I did.
