over the years
i've watched them meet
marry
even start families
and get going on buying houses
stocks
and come up with some semblance of the real deal.
all the time i assumed that pursuing the real
automatically precluded chasing the dream.
the dreams can only take root in the soil
of what you realize.
the soil takes time.
the dreams take tending.
unless your dream is running.
sounds like a nightmare in a way.
my shoes aren't flying off every 5 seconds.
that's nice.
