Day 25: Ten Blocks From Hope‏

George Clooney has spent some time in my home state producing a movie starring Meryl Streep and Julia Roberts. The area has been abuzz with sightings of him. TV and radio stations have links on their websites for fan photos with him. Today I read on Twitter that he was 10 blocks from where I work. Someone posted a photo as proof. I was absolutely giddy. I couldn't believe he was so close, that he was standing in a spot where I had stood. I posted on Facebook that I was certain that if he met me, he'd dump his current girlfriend and we'd live happily ever after. The funny thing is, I meant it. When I hit enter, I believed with all my heart that someone famous could fall for a simple girl like me. Yes I know it's a pipe dream but in that instance, I felt more hope than I have in months, probably years. Hope that my heart was healing, hope that I might find love again, hope that I was starting to believe in myself again. It was an awesome feeling!
