It Was A Day

[ursulav]

It was a day a little bit like today
the way the clouds threw shadows over the hill
the day you realized that you weren’t going to find your future.

You were never going to go to Mars
or Pern
or Krynn
You were never going to open the door that led, inexorably, to Narnia
(or even Telmar, you weren’t picky, and you were confident of your ability
to

It was a day - But not like any other!

Well, I guess I'm in good company; a few tears here too. Good stuff.

I'm not a writer, but working on writing my own future, nonetheless. Very cool though, when you end up having the good fortune of helping someone along with writing theirs.

Excellent

[sniffle] I hope you have a lot of the last sort of day.

On a day a bit like one of those days, I decided that it wasn't worth changing who I was in the hope that other people would like the people I became more than they liked me. I thought that somewhere there had to be people who would like the person I actually am. It took a while to find them, but I'm incredibly glad that I kept looking.

This hurts, I think its the good kind of hurt, because it's true.
I laugh like a hyena. A sharp loud bark of surprise and joy.
My mother hates how I laugh.
