Brief exhalation

I must be careful what I wish for. The universe listens closely and often grants our desires; especially those we repeat too many times. The universe is also a literalist, and getting precisely what we ask for may not be what we intend. The chimeric nature of fantasy can be brutal when exposed. Disillusionment is never easy, and to call it down upon your own head when first you constructed the illusion above you is purest folly.

At least, that's what I keep telling myself. Let go. Make peace with what is and cannot be changed. Leave that dream be.
