Hope, Dreams and Illusions

Lets talk about Hope. Hope and I are friends. Very good friends I might add. There are a few events in my life where if she and I hadn't become buddy buddy, life would be much different these days. However... she has these two cousins, Dreams and Illusions and they all hang out together in my mind. This is a problem. Dreams and I get along great when I see a path which leads to her. She has the potential to bring about life and she also can bring about disappointment. But Illusions, that chicka only brings confusion to my heart. So here is the deal. I would love to separate the three, but no can do at this point in my life. These three girls all run together. Hope is my anchor friend. She reminds me that all things work together for those who love Christ, that He is good and believing the best about this world will do you right. Dreams can cast vision of tomorrows Hopes. Illusion and I don't get along. The freakin girl drives me up the wall. She is the one who whispers lies about how my life would have been different if I hadn't... or this friendship wouldn't have ended if I had been more patient, or my life would have looked like this...if I had gone to a different school. She never quits.

And Illusion has a straight path to my emotions. One two three and she has me all tightened up. She gives the illution that I wish life would look different (when maybe I really like how life is going) or tell me that this relationship issue with my friends, or family or boyfriend is all their problem when in reality it is mine.

So back to Hope. I want us to be better friends and we will. But Illusion and I need to have it out before Hope and I become better friends.
