Six blocks have never felt so far away.
Theres only 2 things right now that are keeping me going. One of them is a person, and one of them is an idea/hope. You should all know who the person is. And the other thing is the hope that one day, when/if I have kids that I will be a better father to them then my dad was to me. I was thinking about it today, and I realized that my entire life, hes never asked me how I feel about anything. Hes never asked me how I'm doing, or if I'm alright. All hes done my whole life is try to fill me with his opinions. All hes ever done is tell me what I'm doing wrong. He was never able to just say "Good job". It always had to be "Good job, but you did this wrong." or "Good job, but you should have done this better".
Sarah lives only 6 short blocks from me, but she feels so out of reach. Like I know shes there, but theres no way for me to talk to her or see her. Six blocks has never felt so far away. Obviously, shes the person who is helping to keep me going. The hope that I'll get to see her again, even if it might not be for a month, or two even, is enough to keep me on my feet.
