Compulsive Reading

Where you see I am not just painfully honest on my blog but also to my boyfriend!

MindReader and I are lying on our backs outside under the stars. Well, I am sort of on his shoulder, because the ground is cold.

“I’m sorry I’m so – urgh – needy,” I say, idly watching a blinking star peeking out from behind my house.

“It’s fine,” he says, relaxed as ever. “It’s more than understandable in your situation.”

“I know,” I say with a wave of my hand; I have heard more than enough about my situation. “It’s just rubbish, my mood just sinks when you leave, and picks up again when you’re back,” I say, with the creeping realisation that, sickness aside, this might be called being in love.

“I don’t really know what to do,” I say, propping myself up on my elbows to look at his eyes, which look almost navy blue.

“Well,” he says softly, “do that typing for Ex Boss, earn some money and a sense of – purpose. Do things you love. And keep getting better.”

I lean back on him and watch the stars.

    Do you feel that his comment was rather ambiguous? I am not sure what to make of it. But then you do know him better than I.
    I do believe that doing things besides earning money, give one a sense of purpose.
    Keep writing your book. I promise to buy a copy when (not if) it is published.

    I think it was ambiguous, or maybe not.
