To Elaborate
So I was talking with Anna, and she said the same thing I was going to say here (but hadn't finished writing it yet), that how when you are a little girl, you have this image of how your life is going to be. I'm sure everyone reading this can remember when they were a little girl. And how you imagined you'd have this life in the future.
In my future, I was going to have a two story house, with a hedge, and 6 children. A girl, then a boy, then twin girls, then another boy, then another girl. Their names would be Elizabeth, Daniel, Kate, Donna, Mike and Cindy. Interestingly, I also had barbies names Liz, Kate, Donna and Cindy. Still have them, somewhere.
I guess I realised the other day, that there is no way this is going to happen, it's just not possible. Not that this was my plan in any way shape or form (at least not since I was 12) so it doesn't really matter, but when it occurred to me that my lifestyle and future plans mean that something like that isn't possible, it made me a little sad. The 10 year old girl who sat drawing house plans and designing a garden, will never have her house.
Anna's girlhood dream future was not as realistic, she was going to be a famous actress in hers. I was just going to be an architect, who lived in Geelong.
My current life future plan, at this stage, remains attainable.
