When I was growing up, both my parents worked their asses off. We always stuggled, barely made it paycheck to paycheck, and now of course, I find myself in the same position with my children. I don’t want to continue like this. I always heard of family vacations, mom, dad, kids all going somewhere together, but I have never experienced that. I want to so bad. I want my children to have what I never got. I want to take my children places and let them experience as much out there as possible. I just want to take a family vacation.

Ideally, anything that really broadens my horizons is something I want. I know I want to see the world, I know I want to learn as much as I can about other cultures, I know I want to further my education for the rest of my life. But how to do it? Mathematics has always been a passion of mine, but how do I mix Quantum Physics with religion? How do I discover the edge of the universe and not question my faith? How do I look at Black Holes, Deep Space, Possible life in other galaxies without questioning my religion? Will I let this continue to hold me back? And what about life on THIS planet? Other people fascinate me, learning as many different personality types, seeing people in various environments intrigues me. Psychology and history pique my interest like nothing else. Where do I go? What do I do? How do I do it? What am I even asking? Fear holds me back as well. Do I want to know the truth? What am I hoping to find? AUGH! What do I want???
I’ve been doing pretty good with this, but I think I’ll always be that Tom-Boy on the inside. I love sports, I love to get sweaty, but at the same time, I love to wear dresses and do the make-up, and all that. I definitely want to be seen as more feminine than just “one of the boys”.
