Make Believe With Me...

We are taught from a very young age to "Make Believe".  Everything put before us was colorful and beautiful and shiny.  It still is for my girls too.  Every movie we watch, so full of make believe, I end up wishing the world to be that colorful too.  I still get the appeal in those movies and lets be honest friends, I bring my kids to see those movies, but I bring my little ol' damaged heart too.

So I'm hoping and hoping that I can "make believe'" to a day where I understand the balance of my whole life.  Does that sounds depressing or funny?  If you know me, you know I mean it funny but I think your all coming around to the idea that all my humour has deep seeded sadness.  HAHA.  But all the good ones do, am I right?

But really, all the movies, these toys and games, they all try to make you see the positive.  Be your own hero.  (you don't need no man, haha), know one day you'll make it, even if your not sure how.  Every terrible step that makes our feet ache also makes our heart beat a little faster and makes you feel a little something.  Relentlessly pray that your feet can take the pressure and your heart wont give out. 

And heres the thing, Friends, Those little tiny bodies we take to see to those bright, glitzy movies, are always watching us from the corner of their eyes,(and sometimes even more obviously ha) They are the most hopeful for these make believe worlds that we have built around them.  They are a lovely thing.  Keep them up for as long as we can.  Because I don't want it to be me that topples those dreams.  Not the way I act or what I say or ESPECIALLY how I make them feel.

Look, I know I'm 32 but I think I'm gonna make believe, just a little longer...I have a couple of good reasons...
