Here I sit. Behind this computer, and I think to myself. What have I found? A real life faerie tale. But I am not merely a spectator. I am living this.
Some people sit back behind a computer, all their life, wondering when they will find something real--tangible--before them. Wondering what life would be like to be happy. What life would be like to be loved. What life would be like to be someone else. We all dream, we all have our own private fantasies...but thats what they are. Faerie tales, fantasies. But what if there was a chance to make them come true? Maybe if you wish and dream hard enough, your own dreams can come true.
I had a dream. I thought thats all it was. Just a dream. Dreams. We all dream; many things. I thought I was merely awakening another dumb fantasy in my brain. We all have fantasies. But I was wrong. This dream was real. Real because I made it real. We made it real.
We had known each other four years to the day. Its been so long its hard to remember quite well now. When I had no one, and felt alone, he was there. Yes, we never truly met, but he would comfort me, and his voice was there for me when no one else would speak. He would whisper to me how he loved me when I felt unloved. He would simply tell me how he wished to hold me when life was just to hard to take.
We all have hardships and trama in our life. But we will never get away from that fact. Life is drama, whether we like to believe it or not. Things will never get better until you believe life can be better. He showed me how life could be better. And I showed him the same. We were both weak souls needing help to reach happiness; or at least better our currently, unhappy, lives.
I never thought it would really happen. Never thought I would find someone who made me so happy. And so sad. But I guess thats what love is. Happiness greater then any I have ever felt, but also sadness from worry, and the neverending "what if's" that plague any relationship. But if you can get past all that, make it through, then you know your really meant for each other.
I took a leap. Leap of faith if you wish to call it such. It was risky, moving all the way around the world, for someone I had never met. Some would say it was the dumbest choice of my life, others would say it was simply an adventure that would turn into nothing more then such. But when I arrived in Sydney, Australia, I found that everything I wished and hoped for....was true. Our love bloomed from years talking on the phone, though never seeing face-to-face. It survived hardships and trouble on both of our ends of the world, and yet we still managed to make the impossible become possible. Make our relationship work.
And now, as I sit here, typing from his computer to all those I miss and love back home, I wish to say only a few words:
You have the power to change your destiny. You have the power to conquer your fears, and grasp your dreams. You have the power to make wishes more then just wishes, and fantasies a reality. You, and you alone have the power to make faerie tales real.
Thanks to all of those who supported me, and still support me. I love you all.
Je reve de toi.
