what if I don't want to be a office drone, a 9-5, working mom, what if I don't want three kids, and a husband, and a house with a down payment What if I don't want to drive a minivan and have movie night. What if I don't want to cut pieces of myself off, to fit into this mold? what if I want to be free, and travel the country with my wife, and cat, and live in a van, wake up with the sun, and bathe in the river? what if?

What If?
what if I don't want to be a office drone, a 9-5, working mom, what if I don't want three kids, and a husband, and a house with a down payment What if I don't want to drive a minivan and have movie night. What if I don't want to cut pieces of myself off, to fit into this mold? what if I want to be free, and travel the country with my wife, and cat, and live in a van, wake up with the sun, and bathe in the river? what if?
This one doesn't live up to the standards I usually hold myself to, but I've been trying to embrace imperfection lately.
