Children

     God's greatest gift? The spawn from hell? A miracle? A young human being below the age of full physical development or below the legal age of majority? Two genetic patterns squeezed into one. Many people take for granted their children, even if they are being little devils at the time. I see parents constantly looking with hatred towards their kids; and I have no right to judge. I don't have children of my own, I haven't lived their day, I'm not sure what kind of parent I will be, but at this moment, I am cherishing all of the little children that are lost, alone, loved, hated, precious little children.
     When and if I ever do become a parent I hope that I realize in the middle of those chaotic and crazy moments, I realize how lucky I am to be blessed with beautiful babies. I guess that's the main thing that I have always wanted. A family. It's so southern and proper of me, but it's all I've ever wanted. Well that and to be taken care of, I really don't want to live under a bridge, and being a single mom would suck almost as much.
     I'm actually excited for that day, but know that it will happen when I'm completely ready for it too. While I live in today, I also like to take a little peek into the future every once in a while. This is my life. My dreams. This blog lays out what I wouldn't say out loud to everyone. This is what I know in my heart to be true. Here's to being honest, loving, and happy.
