Have a lovely day (or night!) I’m in the future, I’ve just woken up to Monday morning xo

I was surprised yesterday by Michaela of The Path Less Travelled By with a 3-Day Quote Challenge. I haven’t done a challenge in a while so decided to do this one. Except that I will not be nominating others, if anyone would like to participate then please feel welcome to with a pingback here.
Now for the hard part, what quote to choose? There are so many insightful, wise, encouraging quotes in the world. So I decided to have some fun and say what I really want. (Give it to me!) I’m going with song lyrics, that can just as well double up for quotes.
Here goes! (Thanks once again to Michaela)
Quote #1
All my aching
All my craving
Desires
Prayers
Have scattered like
Torn pieces of paper
On a hot windy day
I no longer want you
I no longer need you
I can see through you
It’s happened
It’s gone
Nature’s power in creating beauty. A rose bud getting ready to be opened by the sun. It is magic.
The good thing is:
It doesn’t matter what smart, sexy, super-intelligent, sassy comments I could have made, or how I could have responded.
Because you would still be you.
Day after day
And night after night
Waiting and hoping
And biding my time
I feel so glad
I am relieved
That finally
I can see
The mask
The face
The smile
So fake
And I am glad
To have
Escaped
I am free
I am me
And glad to be
Sometimes we need a big knock over our heads to jolt us back to reality. Even if fantasy is more comforting. But the fantasy never becomes real, does it? And reality has its claws all over us. No escape.
