There’s no way it’s going to be as good as I think. As I want. Maybe as I need? Will this destroy the little bit of faith left? Is it not meant for me? Am I not capable? Or am I just scared?
What does he think?
Am I worth anything? Is he just another one? It’s possible, maybe likely.
But I can still dream “of Algernon. I wake up crying… I just know that something good is gonna happen.”
God I hope so. I’m ready to start living. Not thru the TV anymore. Life. Real life. Outside.
There’s not much time left until something. I want to know what. I hope not nothing.
As is commonplace in these situations, it was something that became nothing. A beginning that turned into an end. Longer apart than together.
But my faith was not destroyed. I still hope Love can find me.
Completely unrelated, someone intruded upon my dreams last night. What could have been beautiful was defiled, and I woke up aggravated and alone.
I didn’t know if I was mad at him for showing up or angry with my subconscious for letting him in.

If the dream intruder defiled beautiful things and left you aggravated and alone I can say, with a strong manly voice, “Not it.” Dreams are usually better with me in them. I am like a Disney sidekick getting into strange little side-stories by chasing squirrels or eating something too spicy. You should try to have more Justin Tiemeyer Disney dreams. Honest.
