So... is everything okay at home? What a loaded question. Everything is okay. I mean, I have no reason to complain. My husband is a good man. A good, kind, patient, slightly understanding man. He loves me, he really does.
It's just that... while everything is okay at home, it's not great. Everything can always be better. But what am I supposed to do, settle for mediocrity? Neither he nor I are the same person we were 11 years ago. Hell, I'm not the same person I was a year ago! In the last year, I've found a confidence I wasn't confident I had. I've discovered things about myself! I've spent the last 11 years being "wife" and "mom". Those two words have been the first words I've used to describe myself for so long. Really, the only words to describe myself. I don't want to only be wife and mom! Don't get me wrong, being wife and mom are two of the most prestigious jobs on the planet. But that's not what life is all about. I want to be more. I want more from life. I want to explore! I want to go places and travel and see things! I want to write more! I want things to write about! I want to learn to cook. Like, really cook. And cook for someone who appreciates my cooking. Because I'm fucking good. I want to learn photography. And take beautiful pictures of beautiful people and beautiful things. I feel like I'm not experiencing life like I should be.
So is everything okay at home? I guess not. But I think it's me. I'm not happy. I'm bored. I'm antsy. I want MORE! More more more more. I need more from life.
The only questions is... is where do I begin?
