I used to have dreams like this.

Well, not exactly like this, I mean. Nothing so specific. But you know how it goes, don't you? Girl dislikes her situation, the way her life is going, the way people treat her, wishes she were anywhere else but there. Then a strange thing occurs, and there's this whole other world that needs her, specifically her. This place sees her for who she is, sees her strengths and the change she wants, and it tells her that she's needed to save this other world. Protect it. She's the only one who can. Like a hero, a ruler, or something else. That part changes pretty easily, I think.

There's a lot of stories like that, too, of course. I don't think I'm the only one who's had a dream like that. We all have our little unhappinesses. And sometimes the new kingdom, she loves it so much she never wants to go home. Sometimes being there just makes her miss everything she left behind, and she does everything she can to go back.

Of course, when I say I used to have dreams like this, that would mean I woke up from them, too.

I suppose this is like that. In a way. It's been almost three weeks now, but I guess I'm still trying to get used to it, that's all.

What were your dreams? Did you have them? Or do you, still? Whatever they are, or were, I hope you keep in mind that you can't trust them. There's no Truth to dreams.

No, I suppose there isn't. If you can avoid the pitfalls of disappointment, anyway.

a lot of the time it turns out alright

and i'd rather be disappointed than hopeless at any rate

You've been luckier than some, I'd wager.

undeniably

but i'm not sure if that really means my opinion on this means less!

"a lot of the time it turns out alright."

For you. The same can't be said for everyone.

well yeah obviously i know that, it depends on a lot of things

but even if you're faced with horrible situations or stuck in a bad world, i still don't think there's anything wrong with looking for a silver lining or hoping things will change, as long as you take action to make it change at the same time. i know that just hope on its own doesn't do much

At least you're pragmatic about it. If it's just Hope, alone, it can't survive.

but i think hope makes people work harder. like, if nobody believed there was a chance at something better, what would be the point of working towards something better?

although i kind of wonder why you're capitalizing it

Just for emphasis, that's all.

alright! it's a pretty important word, or at least what it means is pretty important, so i guess it deserves capitalization

It's a name sometimes, too.

somebody you know?

No.
