That I Get November 27, 1998 there are so many things that I’ve wanted and there are so few things that I get and no, I don’t know how to get all the things I want well, I’ve learned that that’s the hard part sometimes and I’ve learned how to deal with the good and the bad and no, I don’t know that this is good I just have to learn how to take it all in stride and yes, I can still dream that my life is different and I can dream that you are by my side and I can dream that there will be a happy ending for me yes, I suppose I can dream people keep telling me that it could be worse that I’m a lucky girl and no one can really know what it’s like to wear my shoes and live my life and feel what I feel but they try to tell me anyway there are so many things that I have wanted and I always have to rearrange my plans and rearrange my ideas well, at least on the surface I do maybe this way I’ll be able to keep dreaming this way the days don’t seem so long Copyright Janet Kuypers.
