I never had a dream come true till the day I met you.
And yet, have I met you? Have my dreams come true yet? Not all of them.
I have access to a mass arsenal worth of friends, and can still feel like the loneliness person on the planet at times. I am grateful for the situation I have been blessed with though. My problems aren’t even close to as “difficult” as the ones faced in third world nations.
I had the wonderful opportunity to reunite with a co-worker from Las Vegas for lunch today. It was saddening to hear that Cram Middle School is still full of troubled students making the lives difficult for teachers and fellow students. However, in a way it was relieving, because no matter how stressful the workload at Rise can be at times, the kids make it all the more worth it in the end.
Later, I had a chance to revisit my former workplace (Popeyes). Seeing the unhappy faces of the employees behind the counter, it’s a relief to see how far I have gone since. I’m not making THAT MUCH more than them, but the work I am dealing with is much more gratifying and less “manual” in nature. Just thinking about my former experience there makes me shudder with disgust and sadness. I truly HATED going into work. I can gladly say I DON’T currently feel that way about my job, as tough as it will be to get up next Monday morning to do so.
I’ve never had a dream come true
Till the day that I found you
Even though I pretend that I’ve moved on
You’ll always be my baby
I never found the words to say
You’re the one I think about each day
And I know no matter where life takes me to
A part of me will always be with you
