Wanting him to dream! Wanting him to do what it takes to achieve those dreams!<BR/><BR/>I search, I question, I wonder why he holds himself back...I know it is a combination of many things...depression, the accompanying lethargy, his own fears, his own self-concept, maybe even my current life situation...sigh.<BR/>Sunny Delighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09813476500121784003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23026828.post-83667505534464436932007-10-05T18:43:00.000-04:002007-10-05T18:43:00.000-04:00I recon he will find his way.

He's fearing about a committement he can't finalize in his head, it sounds like (not that I would know anything about this). At the same time, he can't see that a factory job will not be a permanent one. <BR/><BR/>Were it a permanent one, he might have had a point. <BR/><BR/>I remember seeingX.
