Cheers to Nothing

A Story by Eleos Achlys

My thoughts on back-to-school grief

I woke up realizing this is not the reality I wanted. Fantasies don't exist so I know I can't create it. But wouldn't it be nice if the reality we had now is the reality that was meant for us to believe in? But no. Life doesn't work that way. In order for life to work, you must drive it to the right direction. Yet I don't believe that fantasies can become reality so how can I drive myself there?

Is there a certain path or railroad I can take to get there? Isn't there a Fantasy St. or highway or road or boulevard somewhere? Where dreams come true and everything you could ever ask for is there? I guess not. We're stuck on Reality Avenue. So how about living in the "reality now" than the "fantasy never"? I sure hope they offer a cup of tea.
