I'm tired tonight. That is happening a lot lately. I must be getting old.
Driving in Buford this past weekend, by the Mall of Georgia, I saw a man riding an all terrain unicycle. I very nearly rolled down my window and proposed to him.
I saw several people in Atlanta wearing Vibram Five Fingers shoes. There are the oddest and possibly the ugliest shoes I've seen. Which means that I will own a pair within 6 months.
When I go back to Atlanta, I remember more clearly how I was at 19. Before Cole, before Jerkface, before bills and responsibilities and stress. Back when I knew how my life was going to be. Back when I knew that I was going to change the world.
Do you remember when you were young and you wanted to set the world on fire?
I wouldn't change the dramatic detour that my life took for anything. Of all my regrets, becoming a mother will never be one.
I still want to set the world on fire. I'm still going to set this world on fire. And you know what? So will my son.
"And with these wings, we'll set the world on fire!"
ReplyDeleteI must say, that's one thing I feel that I missed out on. I never had those teenage ambitions to turn the world around(at least not that I recall). I was kind of boring actually.
I haven't outgrown mine yet, I guess.
ReplyDeleteyou're lucky
