I wonder what you really desire. We worked hard for that certain future, but does it have to be that grand? And are their expectations something we should always grant? To aim for the best and the luxury is what everyone wanted but not everyone can have. But, come sit with me. I want to wonder with you all the possibilities you and I could be.
We could be living in a town by the beach. And we'd be having our own flower shop. And all the neighbors are kind. The smell of the sea, the sound of the waves, and the cold breeze that somehow carried the joy and sadness from the places it had been. Two sets of footsteps leave light prints on sand.
Or maybe we could be living somewhere in the meadows. And it'll be like we escaped from the world. We'll have sheeps and hens, and a pet or two. I'd laugh with you as we play chase on those flower fields. Or just dance barefoot on the grass. And the house of wood will be the warmest place we'll ever be in.
Or perhaps we should try going places as we like- like an eternal joyride. Even if it's an old van, I really wouldn't mind. We may not have all the convenience we need, but if the world's for both of us to see, I'd take turns to drive with you.
But if we can't, we could still live in an old apartment and just pay that monthly rent. And I'd still love how we cuddle on that cozy blanket on a rainy day. Or we could earn for our own house. And I'd put bougainvilla near the porch. And our kids would run on our yard and their laughters echoing through the place will be the best music we'll ever hear. We could live in the city or somewhere far. We could go stay near your parent's home or go stay in a foreign land.
But of all these places we could be and all these choices our lives could take, maybe we don't need too much fame or too much riches. To wish for a humble life isn't wrong, don't you think? Though it is still good if that desire is something that would give you happiness, be it be to be leaders of conglomerates or even politics, I would support you along the way. Aiming for the greatest and living your dream isn't wrong either, afterall. But in this road, I want you take it slow. I want us to cherish every moment, every day. I want us to never lose sight of what is really important. And that the hussle and bustles of a working adult could not break us and all the expectations and dissappointments from their eyes shouldn't bring us down. Afterall, what makes life so profound isn't always about reaching that goal at the end of the road, but all those little things we'd pass in between.
