impossible things

I recently read We All Want Impossible Things by Catherine Newman and it made me think… a lot. In fact I’m still thinking. The novel is equally funny and devastating without being detrimental. If that makes any sense. Since then I can’t quite shake this feeling that my life is full of wanting impossible things. Not in, like, a bad way but in a ‘I’ve been making a mental checklist’ sort of way: is this possible? Is that impossible? Once you start doing this  it is d e a f e n i n g . I am now consumed by the thought that though I am a dreamer - emotions, visualization, yay - but I am also plagued by being a dreamer. I dream because I know things to be possible, I actually believe in the impossible, but when you start to realize the improbability of it all, do you stop believing? What do you do but think in circles, renegotiating. Therein lies the hardest dream, right? The one you will likely never let go of because it means the most.
