I have a dream...or had

Is anyone truly ever ready to give up on their hopes and dreams for a new life?

Maybe this is a little overly dramatic, considering my current situation. Its not really a new life we're looking at. Just a new job. However this does mean leaving behind my hopes and dreams...my mystery girl...

Today I heard they were hiring freight guys at the Albertsons near my house. Naturally, since i had applied a few days prior, I thought, what the hell...lets go check it out. Walked in off the street and got an interview right away. Nailed the interview. I mean, what do you expect? I did get a medal in academic decathlon for my interview skills. They want me in for a drug test later on today, then I start. In one hand we have this new beginning, but in the other we have the perfect girl, and my crappy job that I put up with to be with her.

Now its not like her and I are or were actually dating. But seeing her day in and day out like I did always gave me hope that maybe, just maybe, her and I would be together. I really like her, and I still do. I can only hope that either a miracle happens here soon, or that we have another chance later on down the road when I move back out to Boise.

One can only hope...and dream.
