People often have a picture in their mind of how it is suppose to be. The dream, the grand entrance, the plan, the next step. Life isn’t like that, and you shouldn’t be sad, just patient. Plans, dreams need you take risks, without risks, there is no change. I have wanted a lot of things in my lifetime, never enough that it was do or die. I have no extreme regrets. I do build things up in my mind, I am sure we all do, but looking behind there is nothing that stares back and leaves me hollow. Losing a family member leaves a space, but we can’t control that.
As a child I didn’t have huge dreams, a wish list, a wants list, a need to make the world a better place. Later on starting a family all my wishes were for my kids. Not fame and fortune, just happy and healthy. I am happy with the outcome. This new era is odd for me, it took time to learn who I am now. Writing a future for just me and hubby is exciting. Deciding what we want and when and more importantly how has been a different journey. My glass is half full and he is a realist, dreamers need an anchor to keep us grounded.
The fairy tale continues, the villains still exist, even if it is just your own doubts. Our castle is where we are together. All of our princesses and princes have their own castles and kingdoms. For all of us our happily ever after is where we end up. Be okay with that, where you are, is where you are, and wherever that is, be happy.
