With new horizons to pursue 

My words have been stunted by shock and fear. It’s been three months and I am just starting to try to recover. As I watch the news, they report to me how long its been since the war started – it happens to coincide with my internal war and is the most disheartening.

Day 90:

Tragedy struck in Texas today, the death toll continues to climb – most elementary school children near a town a visited every summer as a child. The Frio River won’t be the same for many families this year. It makes me incredibly nervous that people are capable of such evil. It terrifies me that the world is so unpredictable.

Like a bolt out of the blue

Last night, as I was driving home on a old dark road, I approached a stop sign and as I did – the brightest star seemed to fall right in front of me. My brother commented about it and I turned down the radio to make a wish. I know that he was questioning what I was doing at first but I think he realized it quickly.

I have been making the exact same wish since I saw a star fall down over her house as I walked to Torie’s Halloween party that first year. I am quite sure that she was in San Francisco at the time.

It started with me wishing for her true happiness and then ended with something like – even if it’s not with me – mainly because I wanted her to really love me, not just become a wish fulfilment – not that that is even real but I wasn’t about to take my chances.

Well last night, I was finally secure enough to say, ‘and if it’s with me, even better.’ I guess I felt comfortable enough knowing that if she does love me, its probably not because of all the star that I have wished upon for her to find what truly makes her happy… and well the next thing I did was rush to vaguely mention it to her.

More random information about how soft my life has become: As I drove to work today, I found my thoughts drifting to somewhere I didn’t even see coming, which lead to: “But I only want to be her emergency contact.”

I couldn’t help but laugh at myself and wonder what the hell goes on in my head.
