A “dream life” is subjective to many people. While idealistically in America’s eye a dream life would likely be wealth, being extremely successful, perhaps famous, etc. But for a minority like me who is gay, I’d love for there to be a world where there wouldn’t have to be a “coming out” style and not simply expecting the default to be heterosexual. If the human race had been more open-minded and accepting progression would go as far as working together to solve things without divisibility or worrying about being disowned or if it caters towards your families beliefs. That is what a dream life is to me.
