what do you want?

January 10, 2012

what do you want?

i want to be happy.

what do you really want?

i want to be a mother. i want to hold my child in my arms in this life, and just experience it.

what do you want?

i want to love and be loved.

what do you really want?

i want to be fired up about life and i want that fire to ignite everyone i meet. i want to see that fire burn brightest in my love, the person i share my life with.

what do you want?

i want peace for those i love.

what do you really want?

i want my family to have a run of just really good years. great years. i want everyone tucked in and resting each night and smiles on their faces every morning. i want to laugh more than we have in forever, joyous laughter, not sarcastic or cynic tinged you-might-as-well-laugh-than-cry laughter.

what do you want? but…what do you really want?

    I want the same things. For me and the people around me to be happy and have enough income that I know my bills will be paid. Don’t need to be rich, just not have to worry.

      it’s usually not the big, crazy dreams that get you…it’s the normal shit. the every fucking single day normal shit. i hope your wishes come true, truly.

    I love this. Really gets me thinking. I want a day with no screaming. Neither mine nor my kids. Is that even possible? I don’t know but I’m going to try again tomorrow!
