Good lord I needed to read this.

Letting go

It’s hard to let go when your body is clinging to the dream. It lasted just a few weeks, I could count them on my fingers alone. For that handful, the dream was mine. The dream was ours, luminous as a pearl, shining and delicate, a beacon of the future. Then - then it popped. And I am left waiting, waiting for my body to let go, to release the dream I have been so rudely awakened from.

Let’s Talk About Something Other Than

The election. I’ll start. I’ve never seen Top Gun. I’m almost 45 so I SHOULD have seen Top Gun but I haven’t. I’ve also never seen Lost Boys. Again, I should have seen it but I have not. I think not having seen iconic* movies as a child might be the reason I have trouble relating.

*admittedly a loose term

I’ve never seen Top Gun, either. Also, Titanic. Avatar. Any of the Mission Impossible movies. Yet I’ve seen Hot Rod and Napoleon Dynamite about 50 times each.

I’ve never seen The Shawshank Redemption and the look on ppl’s faces when this is revealed feeds my wicked soul.

I’ve seen about ten minutes of Shawshank and it’s the last ten minutes.

I always get Shawshank and Green Mile confused and it frustrates Ken like crazy

I’ve never seen Clue

I haven’t seen Titanic aside from the first fifteen minutes in high school French class.
