Today I dared to dream a bit and thought that maybe things can change for me, change for the better. I know it will take time, but what else do I have to do?  I'm going to work with my therapist and come up with some goals, a short term goal at first. Something that is realistic and attainable. Baby steps. And I'll see where things go from there. I still don't think that I'll live to be an old person, but maybe that thought can change too.

"What is Real? asked the Velveteen Rabbit one day.
"Real isn't how you are made," said the Skin Horse. "It's a thing that happens to you. When a child loves you for a long, long time, not just to play with, but REALLY loves you, then you become Real."
"Does it hurt?" asked the Rabbit.
"Sometimes," said the Skin Horse, for he was always truthful. "When you are Real you don't mind being hurt."
