What does “having it all” mean to you? Is it attainable?
I guess having it all means different things to different people. Myself? I don’t envision the perfect life, as I feel many might, would be amassing an exorbitant amount of money. Instead, I see it as working the job I want and having a person I love beside me.
And those goals, when I was growing up, seemed wholly attainable. Man, lately, I’m not sure I’ll ever reach that peak. As time goes by, and I steadily age, it seems as if I’m the fox in search of the high grapes. But, I’m getting off topic.
Having it all would mean, and I do hope for this, a writing job that would pay the bills. I’d love to find something that allows me to be creative. Creativity engenders a positive mindset within me. Sometimes, I absolutely need that.
I’d also like to find some woman I can live with. I still hold on to hope that I’ll have a family, but, at fifty years of age, that’s slowly dissipating. Ughh…yeah, what I wouldn’t do. I guess, for now, I’ll keep searching. She’s gotta be out there…right?
I guess that’s it…ooh, and maybe a small, waterfront shack, one in an out of the way spot, that would be an excellent way to end my days. As a tiny cherry on top, during a few weeks in the summer, I’d love to drive to a few western national parks. I really couldn’t ask for more.
I’m not lying, that would absolutely be having it all. But for now, I’ll take time to thank God for what he has given me.
Have an excellent day!
