Title: What I want......or really what I don't want.
Though I've heard that dreams come true, I'm not quite sure myself.
I have so many hopes and dreams and expectations about and of myself for when I am grown, my greatest fear is that everything I want to do cannot be accoplished, in this lifetime. I have always wanted to be a writer, I have story ideas and real life ideas and publishers galore that like my ideas. I want also, to be an artist. When I come out of my room, I am usually covered in my oils, pastels, charcoals and paints that I have worked so hard to create with. I love to draw, I draw nature and light, much as Monet. I want to be an interior Decorator. But it's so much more than a career I want, oh yes. I want motherhood and a husband, I want a room-mate and a life, I have to travel to Vianna/Austria, to France, to England, to Holland where I am originally from. But here lies what I imagine having as my life, it's the best I can do:
It was a cold day in December, before my birthday. I got out of my old V.W. bug, it was 'insperational' that was what I called it, with it's bright, vibrant colors. I stepped into my apartment, my room-mate was a girl from England. We were living in Vianna, Austria. My room was cluttered with art supplies and full notebooks, full of life and dreams, now I was working as a clerk in a clothing store, but I wanted more than that, much more.....
Two years later, I found myself married, and pregnant. Emma, was what I wanted for my girl, Emma or Catherine or Catrina, and a boy would be Simon Noah. I had a house, and an artist career, married to Levi Mabe, but I still wanted more.....
Three years later, I had two children, Catrina and Simon, whom both blessed me, my husband was sweet and hard-working, I was still and artist, we were living in England now, with a newer car and a bigger house, with room to spair for all our children. But I did still want more....
In my older years, with two teenagers I studied science, particles, time and space continuems and white and black holes, but I did, I admitted, want more....
And at last, when I had grandchildren I was a scientist, and an artist and I was very happy and pleased with my life, and I wanted NO MORE.
I don't know if this will come true, and hopefully, honestly I hope it wont, because I want more than what happens within theses words wich you are reading.
