Goodbye Sweet Hat

You ever do such a great job of talking yourself into believing something that you do it repeatedly without realizing what you're doing anymore?

I have...and I've been doing it for a very long time.

Over the past few weeks I've been realizing something while slowly trying to come to terms with the opposite...make sense? Nope...doesn't to me either.

I have been trying to believe a complete facade and telling myself it's the right thing to do when at every corner, turn and bend there is evidence to prove otherwise. If you have to think of something in your head, run it over and over and make excuses for it until it comes out right in your memory...not really what happened, is it?

You can imagine you saw a unicorn but in the end you know it was a horse with a twig sticking out of it's mane. Or you can believe that you can save a friend by sending her flying through the air on your hat while you really know that things like that only happen in Wonderland and if you really tried it...well...you wouldn't. And, yes, in the land of make believe...rather, friendship...if you have to think around arguments, deceit and misunderstandings to see the laughter, chances are the laughter wasn't all that loud.

Sometimes you need to let your hat fly to see if it comes back. If it does then you know it was meant to be...if it remains lost...well...I guess it's time for a new hat.
