"My dear girl, when are you going to realize that being normal is not necessarily a virtue? It rather denotes a lack of courage." - Aunt Frances, Practical Magic By Alice Hoffman
(Ok, so maybe I don't *really* care that the kids I graduated high school with have master's degrees already. Maybe I know I've a life that they've only dreamed about. Maybe I know I've seen more of the country and read more books and done crazier things than they have. But goshdarnit, I want the bragging rights that come from six years of doing work for other people and going about a hundred thousand dollars in debt. The ability for social mobility may be worth it...)

Thinking now, the next evening, I don't care. Really.
The sun rises every day on all of us.
I want my days to be filled with love, sun, rain, beauty, experience, music, poetry and dance.
And you know what?
They are.
