QUOTE (Jenny's Bespoke Poop Shovel @ 15/7/2023, 03:39) You know, sunflowers are so nice this time of year. 🌻🌻🌻 You’re a little girl, &, one night, a Fairy Godmother wakes you up - -
FG: My dear, because you’re one of my favorite little girls, I’m going to give you 2 different lives from which to choose.
You: 2 different lives?
FG: Yes, I’m going to let YOU choose what life you’ll lead as a grown woman.
You: Cool!
FG: Are you ready?
You: Yes!!
FG: Listen carefully…
W/ Life #1, you will have lots of free-time & me-time & lots of money -
You: Oooh, I choose that!
FG: Oh, but wait, w/ Life #1, you’ll be alone. You’ll live in a big house, but it will be very grey & empty & built poorly. Your yard will be just some grass & a patio. You’ll travel all over the country in a Toyota. You’ll even sleep in the Toyota. But you’ll travel by yourself. And, when you’re not sleeping in your Toyota, you’ll just be driving from one AirBnB to the next, from one town to the next. You’ll have money, but you’ll spend it on athleisure wear & coffee mugs & stickers & lots of bags & pouches. You’ll drink a lot of tea, & you’ll eat grocery-store salads out of bags. You will ride an exercise bike a lot & hike a lot & run-walk a lot & pay to enter lots of different race events. And the solo trips & the various collections you hoard & all the exercise & run events will be the only things that really make any difference in your life or give you any kind of sense of accomplishment or validation for your life.
You: I’ll never have a husband or any kids?
FG: Oh, you will, but you’ll sacrifice your marriage for your freedom. Your kids won’t be w/ you too much, & you’ll have a hard time relating to them. You’ll prioritize your self-care & your many personal journeys over anyone else in your family. You will spend lots of time thinking about yourself & processing every little thing that happens in your life. Your camera will be your only friend. You will bike for many hours to nowhere in your basement trying to outrun your life. And, as often as you can, you will travel on long roads in your Toyota to escape. And, when you’re not visiting various AirBnBs, you’ll run in Disney races over & over & over again. And you’ll hike up pretend mountains, walk back down, & then do it again 19 more times. And this is how you will try to put any kind of meaning in your life. But, all that said, while you will be alone, you will have lots of me-time.
You: Uh, what’s Life #2?
FG: My dear, w/ Life #2, you’ll have a very large home beautifully & stylishly decorated… you’ll have a husband who dotes on you, & your home will be filled w/ your kids…. Sometimes, it’ll be messy & even a little chaotic. But you’ll have help & you’ll have fun. You’ll have friends & family around you. You’ll go on trips to cool places & eat at lovely restaurants. You’ll have a style that’s all your own, & you’ll have a great wardrobe & jewelry w/ both trendy pieces & classic pieces… and you’ll put your own spin on everything. Oh, & you can cook really delicious & creative food for your friends & family! And, let me tell you about your garden! It’s going to be gorgeous & full - just like your life, & you’re going to grow vegetables & flowers... and even have fun little spots in the garden for your kids. You’re not going to have a lot of down-time to go on very many inner self-journeys. You’re going to be busy & you probably won’t have tons of me-time, but it will be a full life w/ lots of family & friends & lovely things surrounding you… and so many of those lovely things - like your garden - you’ll have a hand in creating & nurturing. You won’t have to continually search for meaning & purpose, you will have found it & you will live every moment.
You: Wow!
FG: And, so, now, my dear, you must choose. I know I haven’t given you a lot of time to decide, but -
You: Oh, I’ve made my decision!
FG: You have? That was quick!
You: I choose Life #2.
FG: Very good, my dear. That’s why you’re one of my favorites.
