When I got a bonus from my first real job after graduating from University, I knew exactly what I was going to spend it on - a sub-woofer for my car. I felt pretty cool when the technician who installed it said there weren't too many girls getting a 10" Alpine speaker and Rockford Fosgate amp. for the trunk of of their car. I was a hip hop queen! I rolled my windows down (that's right no electric windows on my Mazda Protegé) and cranked my music so I could feel the bass through my whole body. I loved it!
But alas, my life has changed a bit since my 20s and the back of my vehicle now contains 2 car seats, a yoga mat and lots of beach sand and cheerios. I wouldn't trade that for anything, although maybe I could squeeze in a new sound system when the girls get older and I'm not so worried about damaging their eardrums.
Today I feel fantastic! The blue skies make me want to sing and dance. Everything is wonderful - today. I know to ride the waves. Who knows what tomorrow will bring. I know that I have a very strong influence on the life I live and create for myself.
We've got to ejoy life and live each day as our true selves.
Maybe I'll get dreadlocks in my hair, I've wanted to do that for over a decade. Or maybe that's just my craving to really let my true self come through - to show everyone, look, here I am! I was here all along and now I'm ready to show you who I really am.
I saw you all driving home from work, making dinner, walking around...
We are all here together, to make it fun and worthwhile.
I just want you - the real you.
I just want me - the real me.
