Screenplay Monologue or Screened Confession? (When the Line Between Reality and Fiction is Blurred)

I don't know who is right or wrong. I don't know if we're meant to be or not sometime later on down the line. I don't know if we'll stay the same, change for the better, change for the worse, die in some horrible accident or just blink out of existence. I don't know if we'll keep in touch or fade out of each other's lives. I don't know what the

I don't know very much. It seems that whenever I'm sure of something, it changes. Still, there are some things that I will always know for sure. Things that remain unchanged. And there are things that, though they may change, I know them for what they are right now. Maybe they'll change and maybe they won't. I can't predict the future. But the present is where we should stay focused. You taught me that. I'm trying to live by it the best I can, and I'm trying to just let things fall where they will. I don't care about the solution or the finished product anymore. My footsteps along life's path are what I keep my eyes focused on. There's no other way. I don't have a map, and I'm terrible with directions. I don't know where I'm going. But it's different now. I'm not afraid of that. I don't dwell in it. Instead, I focus on the few things here and there that I do know.

i've been thinking the same thing lately. except i'm excellent with directions. i have a great sense of direction except when it comes to what i want in life. and while i think i know what i want my final destination to be, i'm still really unsure of what the best way to get there would be. and often i feel like there is no good way to find out, just like when i use the cta trip planner and it tells me to walk from my place on addison southwest to cornelia and halsted and then take the halsted bus back north to addison to catch the addison bus to the red line.

I don't think picking the route is important in that way. I think it's more important in the fashion of what happens along the way and how that influences you. You know what I mean?

[raspberrychucks]

yeah, i know what you mean. i guess what i meant by picking the route, i meant by picking that route that all the good stuff happens along. we'll see what happens, though.

You gotta take the good and the bad. You ever see Vanilla Sky? "Without the bitter, baby, the sweet ain't as sweet."
