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.

What do I do Now? in The Kid Used To Dream
Recently, I stumbled upon a revelation that growing up I would be rewarded for invisibility. The more I stayed out of the way, the more I was rewarded. It makes so much sense now. Even now, as a...
The Stupidity of Me in The Kid Used To Dream
I spent the last few days withholding my humorous (to only me) sarcasm and biting my tongue to keep from saying something she doesn’t like. I did this for, maybe a moment we don’t normally get. ...
Observation in The Kid Used To Dream
