kiduse2dream

I have always been a dreamer. I dreamed I would get to star in a sitcom. I dreamed I'd be in a movie. I dreamed I could play stadiums to a sell out crowd. I tried to take opportunities but they were always just out of reach. What I have left is to write about what never was.

It’s probably exhausting for someone who is extremely serious about everything to be around me. I don’t subscribe that everything that happens is a 5 alarm fire. I know some folks like that. If ...

Times are weird in The Kid Used To Dream

I saw a very close relative in the store the other day. I haven’t been able to see them in about 3 months. When I’m available I would text and they would always have something else they were doi...

This close in The Kid Used To Dream

I’m so close to firing an assistant. They won’t listen. Then when I try to explain they make excuses. They twist what I say and make me sound like I’m being mean to them when all I want is for t...
