“The difference between
a dream and fantasy is commitment.”
Ever been enchanted by words? Magical little things aren’t
they. Feelings, promises, the future, the past, the present, all can be
described with words. Although sometimes the words that come to mind aren’t
favorable, they still have meaning. Believing someone, even if you don’t feel it’s
true, because of the way they worded it…making it seem so wonderful you wish,
hope, and let yourself believe what they are saying could happen. Is it all
make-believe? A figment of your imagination, a simple fantasy you’ve conjured
up? The only way to find out is to try…and
fail. If you really wanted it in the first place, you’ll get up and never turn
your back on your journey.
Okay yes small pep talk from Kathleen, not important without
some sort of back story. At the end of every year Diane and I plan out our
goals for the months and years to follow. The obvious: attend nationals, attend
tryouts, and do well, are always first on the list. After that we hit a period
of silence, not an awkward one…more of a quiet thinking reflecting time, the
quiet you don’t interrupt to say just anything. Then Diane started to fill my
mind with goals, possibilities, and a future I have dreamed of for a long time.
I don’t take my mother to be one for telling fairy tales, so there must have
been some truth behind the future she described. I think she and I are finally
on the same page, mostly about Whimzy’s career. Jenna and I haven’t changed
much as a team and I think Diane knows what our fate is even though I haven’t the
faintest idea.
