This is such a wonderfully written piece. Even if the last line is so tragically true.

I’m with Bolly: the moment I read the first sentence, my head was silently screaming “nooooooooooooo!” But you made me feel a bit better by the time I reached the end of the post, so I think I’ll be able to sleep tonight.

I do believe Real is an enigma, and there’s nothing more attractive to a writer than an enigma, nor is there anything as unhealthy. You deserve better than something you can’t have 100% of.

The moment you mentioned Real again, alarm bells started ringing. I know it’s just my opinion and you are not obliged to take it, since I’m someone who has the bad/good habit of not looking back once I walk away. Also, only you know the real insides of the situation.

But if I were in your shoes, I would stay away from Real. He sounds like a wishy washy guy who didn’t know what he wanted and is now returning to previous fishing ponds to see if there are any fish left. Also, it takes quite an insenitive person to not realise the anguish they cause another. Men are not so stupid as to not be able to read another person’s emotions.

I just think Real is not worth the time you give him. Who does he think to disappear for a year and then just pop up when HIS heart desires it? Put on your prettiest pair of shoes and walk away.

I genuinely believe that being a writer makes it harder.

I love your perspective on this. I’m so glad you understand the different potentials–and lack thereof.

You are so right. Being a romantic is exhausting. But I love your writing and your stories. Maybe you should write it the way you want it to be….
