She (who is with child with my friend's baby) asked, "Oh. Have you guys been trying for a while?" No. We just decided to wait. But that doesn't mean that it doesn't get pretty damn frustrating when other people get to start living the dream that you have to wait for. Especially when it seems like its everywhere you look. My friend C is due April. T is due November. H is due December. N is due November. And most of the others all have kids already. It's like I'm a fat person on a diet and suddenly a Krispy Kreme truck explodes in front of you. Waiting for shit sucks.

You've had a dream and now you feel as if it's gone. I think a little grieving time is deserved as long as you don't lose yourself in it. There are people around you that will help you through that and then be there on the other side. *raises hand*

They give us something to look forward to. No matter how 'fanciful' it may seem or petty to other people. They are your dreams, your desires, your hopes that get you through. :) Dreams are the hopes which carry us through the days. They give us something to look forward to.
