A Dream Deferred...

What happens to a dream deferred?

Does it dry up like a raisin in the sun?

Or fester like a sore--

And then run?

Does it stink like rotten meat?

Or crust and sugar over--

like a syrupy sweet?

Maybe it just sags

like a heavy load.

Or does it explode?

A Dream Deferred - By Langston Hughes

So what exactly does happen to a dream deferred? I don't know but I suppose I will soon find out. I just got a call not long ago that my uncle is backing out of his offer to co-sign for an apartment for me. His financial advisor told him not to. So I have ran out of options and my dream of being able to move out has died...at least for now. It's really upsetting because I have been saving up to move for nearly a year now. My only plan now is to just commute to my new job for the next six months. My professor gave me the contact information of a place to help me get the fraudulent credit items off my report and clean up the couple of credit cards I still owe on. I could move to a cheaper area of town but being a single woman, I don't want to move somewhere I don't feel safe. I am really disappointed that my uncle would offer and then back out. But as I always say, "And this too...shall pass.." So I guess I'll work this out and hopefully have things set so I can get a place after graduation. I suppose I should be thankful that I do have a car that is reliable and can get me from point A to point B with ease and parents who have allowed me to live at home rent-free. God this sucks and I really feel like crying but I am at work and I hate for these heifers to see me down.

I guess I can afford that remote starter for my car now...
