[Letters] Day 5 - Your Dreams

Dear Dreams,

I believed. Despite every instinct that told me not to, I believed up until the end that he could be saved, that we could still find a place in the world. I bought into the fairytale, even after everything I'd seen, that if you were just good enough, just believed hard enough, just worked hard enough...you'd be rewarded, your dreams would come true.

He'd see me there. He'd realize his potential, turn from the path he was on, be the man I believed he could be. We'd be together. He'd stop saying, doing, hurtful things.

I believed.

Hell, I even still believed after the fucking bullet hit me. He'd bring Claire. He'd make sure I was saved. He'd see what had happened. He'd save me.

And then he kissed me.

Let's just say, it wasn't anything like the old song, and everything I'd held on to, everything I'd believed was destroyed, including you.

So don't you dare try and raise your head again now because he's full of pretty speeches about remorse and puppy dog eyes. I'm not the same girl I was before, and I won't be fooled again.

You Are Shrimp Sushi

You are down to earth and easy going. You are pretty content with your life. You don't need glitz, glamour, or luxury to be happy. You create your own happiness. You are low maintenance and slow to complain. You always give people the benefit of the doubt. Others admire your cool, collected ways. If only the world was as peaceful as you are.

What Type of Sushi Are You?
