My Assigned Human


It's real when the impossible becomes a reality.

For me, that impossibility was loving someone before you met them.

I didn't know who she was yet. I knew she existed.

She was out there somewhere.

Back then, I was stupid.

Wrong people. Wrong places. Wrong decisions. Wrong.

"What if she could see you now? What would she think?"

A figurative woman was now guiding my conscience.

"I will better myself so that when I find her, I will be more acceptable of a person."

And so I stayed true to my word.

I fixed myself for her, a woman I had not yet met.

Why?

Because I loved her.

Why?

Because she helped me better myself.

A string of questions and answers that could speak and respond for eternity.
