All Alone

Well, the last sibling has left, and I am once again an only child. The whole house is to myself. This is sometimes good (when I'm having a teenage girl moment (that strangely don't happen too often with me) and don't want to talk to anyone at all) and yet sometimes bad (when there's no one to talk to in my generation). I know for sure I'm going to miss everybody (I already do), but it's kind of nice knowing that my family can go out and travel the western hemisphere and live good lives. It just makes me wonder where will I be when I leave high school? Will I get into a good college, or will I be stuck at a low-academic-standard community college that doesn't offer much? Will I get to live in Chicago when I grow up, or will I have to go where the job is? Will I earn lots of money or have to struggle to pay the rent? Will I have kids who can sit comfortably at a computer as I am now, or will I remain single all my life? I don't know where I'll be. But I sure hope I'll be as great as my siblings are now.

  1. Mary's right. And...as much as I want my kids to end up all near me when they grow up so I can see them often, having a kid in Chicago would be a blast! It's exciting to ponder the possibilities.
