Sigh. The smarter girls learned long ago to see the reality in situations and people, not the wondrous potential. To invest emotionally in what actually stands before us --- and not to invest in our fantasized version of what one day may be. May, might, possibly, perchance, conceivably, perhaps, in your dreams.....
I never have been one of those smarter girls.
I hope to learn this trick before I croak. Or croak again, as the case may be. Or even after. But I hope to learn this one.
Adulthood sucks at times, it truly does.

Well,
ReplyDeleteI see now that my future was denied me, in my younger life, by a bevy of smarter girls. If only I had met a dreamer girl. She would have seen my potential and today, I'd be somebody! ...sigh...
But, I still have my dreams! They have only their "somebodies".
Thanks again, Marty. You always seem to hit home.
you are too kind
