I don't need make-up or these highlights in my hair. I don't need to go through a daily facial cleansing routine or even take as many showers as I do. I don't need the pointy toed boots or fitted blazers with broaches. I just do it, out of habit. I'm not high-maintenance, I actually would prefer to be simple. I was asked recently, over lunch, what my plan was (mind you this was asked by a person who knows, or pretends to know, exactly what he is going to do in life).... I gave the "I know what I want to be" answer, but I couldn't fill in exactly how I plan to get from point A to point B, C, and D. I don't think I need a plan. I think life is about opportunities, and from those opportunities life unfolds. There are a lot of things I want to try, and sometimes you don't need a plan to just do what your heart desires. It's okay to dream about waking up in your bathing suite and keeping your hair unkept. Waiting tables to make enough money for ends meet; where your job is left behind until you pick up the next shift. blue water, white sand, green sea grass. Maybe that is a part of my plan...to take a break before I start planning. I could give it a try.
