Do You Know What You Want?

 

Having a heightened sense about life, love and relationships these days; I seem to be focusing on past struggles. I was of (what I call) "The Prince Charming" generation. Mom told me that one day the perfect man would arrive and my life would be "perfect". For her, that may have been true. My Dad left love notes inside the kitchen cabinets for her. As they got older, he even wrote "I Love You, Guess Who?" in the snow with his cane. 

My prince charmings quickly turned into frogs. I became an expert at telling you what "I don't want", but struggled for years with what I did. Some of it is about knowing yourself. Some of it is about being strong, independent, and unconventional. Today, I can tell you:

I am not good 24/7,

I enjoy living alone, and,

Marriage-been there, done that.

My list makes me laugh. I've actually bullet-pointed it for someone in my life recently. Why is it so hard to recognize that I do know what I want? And...

I love my life!
