Life's Been Good To Me
For once, I've decided not to bitch about something and just share some stuff. The last 2 weeks have seen me feeling better then I have in a long time. My writing is coming back, and although it hasn't translated into finishing stories, some essays and other evocative prose is coming out. This makes me happy. Also, I've decided to ACT on my dreams and have started hanging out at the coffeehouse to talk to people. I have had some great conversations with this college student that works there, and I am going to ask her is she wants to meet at a bookstore and talk. Yeah, I could get turned down, but she's not rude to me, just very friendly. If I act like I'm at a SF convention and just be myself, I'm going to get lucky and connect with someone. It may not be her, but I'm going to try, nevertheless. No doubt there are some of you out there that think me a fool for asking a twenty-something out. Well, I guess that call is up to you. I've had two people who I trust tell me to go for it, and so I shall. She is a stunner, but it's the eyes and personality that attract me.
But that won't stop the hope and confidence that has been welling up in me of late. Oh, there will be days when I feel bad, we all have those, but I won't let those stupid days stop me. Right now, I am tired and my eyes are sore, but I can write with my eyes closed if I have to. Hell, when I had surgery and had double vision, I wrote with my eyes closed. I suppose it comes down to making a commitment to myself to follow the Dreams. Some dreams you outgrow and by necessity you have to let them go, but if you listen to that little voice in your head, you'll never go wrong. This is a good time to tell some of my friends what the "Voice" would tell them if they could hear it.
Xalyx... You ARE a comic book artist. Just because you've not been published means nothing ! I'm not published, but I *am* a writer by virtue that I write things and love it. Nurture yourself.
Tonya... You are loved and missed, and I wish I spent more time with you when you lived here.
If I've missed you, rest assured that I haven't forgotten you. I never forget my friends.
Next time: Probably more bitching. Hee-Hee.
