A lot of my life is spent trying to strike a balance and missing.
I want to do and be so
much. And I want to be good at it. I want to truly love and be loved.
I want to be a good friend, daughter, granddaughter, sister, cousin,
niece. I want to be a star student, an indispensable employee. I want
to write something wonderful. I want to be intelligent, educated and
informed; I want to travel the world, read all the books, newspapers,
magazines and journals I can. I want to be healthy, fit and
pretty. I want my home to be cozy and beautiful. I want to take
photos, cook delicious meals, go to parties, have meaningful
conversations, watch films, climb mountains, walk though galleries
and gardens. I want to listen to talented musicians, surf waves,
learn to dance and play guitar. I want to have a golden tan, flawless skin, perfect
hair and stylish clothes. I want to impress people with my political
insight, my emotional intelligence, my progressive ideas. I want to
help those in need. I want to find my kindred spirits and let no one
ever leave without making them feel better and happier and do my bit
to make the world a better place.
I simply don't know how to do it; how to strike a balance I feel is missing and I'm wondering is there enough room in my life for me to be and have all of
those things or does something have to give? And If something has
to give; what is it that I am willing to sacrifice?
