So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

daydreaming my life away
Sunday. 9.5.04 3:22 pm
You know, whenever I daydream of something, it always doesn't happen. Like let us imagine that I daydream about getting a letter out of the blue. I might daydream about this every day for a month, but on the one day that I am too busy to think of it or I've finally actually completely given up- that's when it happens. This has the terrible side-effect that no matter what happens to me, it always takes me by surprise. Does this happen to everyone, or only me? I've gotten to the point where if I think of something that I want to happen I immediately curse myself for thinking of it because that absolutely means that it will never happen. By the sole act of thinking of it, I've destroyed any chance of it ever coming true. Another nasty side effect of this happens to be that I can never say, "Oh! I was hoping this would happen! Oh, how I dreamt of this day!" or maybe, "It's EXaCtlY what I wanted, how did you know?" Or maybe I could say this, and it would be true, but I never would have ever imagined that you would buy it for me. In fact, I had probably had been daydreaming that you would buy me something else, that I in fact did not exactly want, and your actual present is much better, but I didn't have the joy of imagining exactly what it might be. Alas. Such is a bitter curse. Just like when people call you when you've finally given up that they'll ever call and you don't really care or think about it anymore after a long time of thinking about it all the time and finally when you've reached this point of independence and enlightenment... BAM! Broadsided!

This is not about anything in particular, mind you, it was just thought.

In other news, my life is over. Just kidding. I just said that because that's what I want to say to Ranor when he gets back but he's not here and I don't know where he went and I really want to throw myself onto his bed/couch and exclaim dramatically that my life is over. Because it is. And you would understand if you were Ranor. But you're not. Unless you are, in which case unlock your room. :D

Sigh.. that happens to me ALL the time!!! I always dream of people surprising me and giving me flowers and alas it never happens-- unless I don't suspect it. I tried to surprise myself with flowers once when the urge to have them was particularly strong-- but it didn't work... because I forgot to buy them! BLAST!
