Like most women: girlfriends, wives and mothers, I got lost in the relationship. I wanted to keep everyone happy. It just cost me my happiness. I was like the last hotdog to come off the grill; crispy, but still good none the less.
I was forced to look at myself in the mirror. With my hair unkempt and no makeup I asked myself the question countless people have asked, what is the meaning of life? No, seriously, who am I? The meaning of life question is a good one; but one thing at a time.
Who am I, really? I was a wife and mother of two. Ok, I am still a mother of two; but what else? Looking back there were so many things I wanted to do; travel, write, paint, compose, dance, go to law school, be a teacher. But I can’t look back in the past. A lot has happened in the almost ten years I was in a relationship with this man. I have new preferences and desires. Now, what are they? Alas, this cannot be answered in one posting. But I do know I love being creative and try to find humor in any situation.
I am only 29! I have a while to figure the rest out. Now, what is the meaning of life…
And, let's not forget you are an author!! And you are amazing!
ReplyDelete29 is so young, you really do have your whole life in front of you still--10 years may seem like a lot, and it is, but you're right in looking forward--there is so much to find and discover. I am excited for you!
