    I honestly don't remember if I posted this before and it got deleted with the TWCenter backup restore or if I never posted it. So, here goes, 485 words.
    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 
    bearger = a small animal, a mix between a badger and a bear...the cutest animal you could imagine


    I have seen the future, my future, many times before. With each glimpse, however, I somehow knew it had already changed, for once seen, the threads of time change course and the outcomes are ever different. It was not the case that one time, though, I feel it, I know it...I still see it. I’ve always dreamt of her, without knowing who she was, but feeling she was mine. Her face had always been hidden for me and many a times that had caused anguish and confusion; especially once I found her. Well, I didn’t actually find her, she found me and not even that is accurate enough. She’s sleeping now and I watch her, every breath she takes bringing me closer and closer to the realisation that the future works with you, for you, but only if you have the seemingly impossible luck of realising it.
    I am wrong though, it’s not even luck, it’s only that force within, that drive and desire to love and be loved, to give oneself fully and receive as much as you are willing to show of yourself. Madness, maybe, love is madness, in a way... maybe in more than one.
    Men dream of going back in time, of going to the past and changing something, that small detail that could, would alter their lives for the better, but that cannot be. Instead, you can go back towards the future, a future, the one you saw, the one you want, the future you are ready and willing to fight for.
    Thoughts had always come and gone away as easily as hoverboards, as if my mind had always been a blank slate that would catch any and all possible messages written on flying whiteboards, mostly written and changed by other hands than mine, by others that wanted something from me, something else for me. Too seldom I allowed mine own to linger there.
    She was one of those seldom thoughts that truly belonged to me, my past, my future, never my present, until I realised that she was what I wanted, whom I wanted to share my life with, to give my life to. In giving her this, willingly, I received a thousand fold.
    Would I be able to go back in time, to the past, I would change nothing. Would I be able to go back to that future moment, I would change nothing. She is my bearger and I am hers and honestly, I cannot wait to have cubs of our own.

    It’s 5:53 as I write these words, she is asleep and I can see her, feel her. These words are for her as much as they are for me. As for the rest of you...
    ...enjoy the new year, the future, as it has arrived!
