Going to the studio at the school today became a test in resisting temptation and lustful urges. Fear caused by past social experiences cause me to keep my distance from the people I admire, while doubt pokes a stick at my curiosity. A combination of sexual frustration that needs to be released mixed ever nicely with an honest want to find companionship leads to stalker-like behavior and what may very well be an acute development of nymphomania that can only be subdued by traumatic memories of that first real crush I had and the naive path I took to get where I am now.
Part of me wants that fairy tale to happen, where someone is secretly attracted to me that is impossibly out of my league. Or better yet, someone I secretly admire. That someone having more guts and bravery to take the risk that I cannot or will not depending on how you look at things. Oh, how lovely that would be if fairy tales were real and not a fabrication of dreams and wishes.

You have to make your own fairy tales come true. Be your own Prince Charming, etc...
Jon,
When I saw this heading, I thought, "Well, I guess TGI has become a prefix in modern English, just like the old pre- and post- and ante-."
I Googled doubt pokes a stick at my curiosity -- I also put it into Alta Vista -- and it seems no one so far has put that phrase on the web. Do you think it lends itself to a drawing?
I don't know which is worse: having a crush when you are young, or being accused of having a crush when you are old.
Dreams and wishes are fabric. Whether they lead to unreal fairy tales depends on how you weave them together.

Jon,
I was just looking back through some of my comments on your posts and decided a haiku was just waiting:
From dreams and wishes
one can weave either life or
unreal fairy tales.
Of course this haiku ignores the fact that fairy tales endure because at their core they seize our hearts with the truths that terrify us.
Get busy with life.
Robert
