Heart's Desire
Heart's Desire: Think about something you once wanted so badly but never acquired. Write about how you think your life would’ve been different if you had received what your heart desired.
Wow. Now there’s a question. Um…I’ve got to think about this one for a minute.
You know what? I think I’ve got it right where I am now. It’s not what I ever envisioned for myself. I mean, when you first come to terms with your sexuality as a lesbian, you just kind of figure kids aren’t going to be a part of your life. Or at least I did. And yet…
There I was, agreeing to let Reena carry a baby for Sarita and Mitch. And then dealing with how I felt about everything when Sarita backed out and I realized that Ree and I would be raising the baby.
That one wasn’t easy. I mean, I never really thought about having kids. Not just because I didn’t think I was really cut out to be a mom. But because it really wasn’t something Reena and I had talked about. And then all of a sudden here we were, going from a pretty new couple to a couple about to have a baby. And I freaked.
But eventually, with Mom’s help and some time away, I realized that I loved Reena, and if that meant I’d be with the baby, that meant I’d be with the baby too.
And now, I can’t imagine my life any other way.
So I think I’ve probably got my heart’s desire ~ even if I didn’t know it was.
