i had a dream last night about my ex.
a vivid dream where i swore it was real.
it was in present time and i was back together with my ex.
the time frame most have been a while because somehow there was a small child with her and she was my kid i believe.
about 6-7 years old.
i was having a great time...somehow reality was in my dream too because we talked about breaking up and how the little girl was mine.
i didnt know...but i was happy to find out.
then...my ex had to tell me something.
before we went any further.
she cheated on me.
in my dream i was crushed...although i was instantly forgiving.
then she started to explain why.
"he was so hot i had to jeremy!"
"i gave him the best blowjob ever"
"this guy really worked out and i just had to fcuk him"
i remember all these things she said from the dream because it woke me up.
i didnt know where i was when i woke up for a second.
the anger and confusion was still there.
finally i looked up at my computer and realized what time it was and snapped out of it.
i am so glad that was just a dream.
because i was actually "ok" with all those rotten things she was telling me.
for some reason knowing i had a child even with that girl made me feel alright.
even in the dream.
if that was real life i would have been gone in 2 seconds.
filed for custody and took off.
i had to leave my house after that dream and waking up knowing i needed to talk about real life and art so i rode my bike to my friends' house.
i felt fine after that but it was hard to even think riding that whole way there.
realizing...maybe she did when we were together.
maybe she lied more than i thought or she let on.
of course people lie to me for my own "safety" because obviously to the crowd i know or have known...being lied to or fcuked over turns me into a beast.
like when i saw that small little interview my friend did with the old art studio partner...just last night too.
seeing all my artwork hanging on the walls and the stuff that i painted on the studio walls.
hearing that they "have no idea why jerm holds a grudge"
but i am very happy that my friend who did the little neutral interview made sure that they knew i have knives and full ashtrays and paint and writings and a bunch of other weird crap just laying around my room.
also im glad he let them know that i stick by my convictions and not live off of opinion.
and i know my bad dream was just that a bad dream.
the nightmare those fools created for themselves is apparently my fault because i havent stopped being an artist and i havent failed like i was told by them because i left that establishment.
at least im man enough to admit to others i was wrong and apologize to them.
i made peace with people i had problems with...now these old bloodsuckers want me to make peace with them for what they did to me.
i guess my pen name does have some truth to it.
