My best friend, Laura, hates it when I quote the Weepies. Perhaps she doesn't know I'm quoting them when I say, "I want to live a simple life." Laura says that lives are for making an impact and being the change you want to see in the world, not for simplicity. But it's something more than that for me. After this long, involved story, you'll see that it's not an easy life I seek, but a clear, focused, and self-manifested one. It's different than easy...it's a life I've made for myself.
You see, I always had
this image, this vision, of my Future Home. It was a condo, but not a loft. It was spacious in that the large living room dominated the
main space, but it wasn’t huge. I
have a rather white-ish coloured couch with many a throw on top of it. There are doors that lead outside
behind the couch. On the hardwood,
there is an impressive Persian rug.
It is red with flecks of gold.
There is a soft yellow reading lamp that is illuminating what I can see
my Future Self reading: a magazine.
There is jazz music playing in the background and the atmosphere is
warm-hearted, inviting, and quiet.
It is a quiet life upon which I am looking. It’s the life I’ve always dreamed of living. I look very happy: I look like I belong
there. I always thought that in
order to get this home, I would need to depend on someone else to provide it
for me. I thought that a dual
life, a paired life, would allow these luxuries: warm light, magazines, and red
area rugs. Maybe I have to start
thinking about living the life I’ve always wanted to live…and just work at making
it happen.
