If you are still here, there's something to be said for attendance

I woke up today wishing for certain things.

Sometimes, we work so hard towards chasing everything that makes sense that maybe we forget to wish, or long or just summarize our wants, our dreams, the ones that don’t particularly make sense. Sometimes, when I want to pray and put my prayer into words, like “Hey Lord this is what I want,” I find it hard to put my finger on what exactly it is that I want. The other day at my interview—to this very boring job—the lady asked me what my dream for 3 years from now would be, what you want to achieve professionally and personally. I really do not know. The Interview rule books advise that you say that your goal is to keep working here, and doing a good job, so I said that, but the personal part. I couldn’t quite put my finger on, for one, she doesn’t know me like that so I can’t be telling her what I want in my life personally, when the most important thing is I don’t know what it is myself. I told her, get married and have 5 kids. Something nice and simple. She chuckled. I mentioned this to a friend of mine, and she said, you know that’s not your dream. Why she thought that I don’t know. Maybe it is. I told her I should have said it was to marry Keanu and have a dozen of his babies. I said, next time someone asks me that that would be my answer, to marry Keanu, can you help me achieve that?

I don’t know why she felt that would sound stupid. But it’s true in some ways, not so much. Sometimes I think, if I married him, would I keep searching, would I keep bothering God about wanting a successful career, maybe that would close the chapter to all that. I would be his wife and not want a career at all. Or maybe not, I hate to sit idle, so maybe not. It’s just stupid, the way our mind wanders sometimes, especially in the morning, Sunday Mornings.

However, I woke up today thinking, that I would like to travel across the Northern part of America. Through Philadelphia, Jersey, all those beautiful obscure states no one thinks about. Ask me why I don’t know. Then, I would like to work in DC. Get a job with one of those magnanimous Law firms and just settle in there, being. At first it was SF, it still is, but that one seems so out of my reach. So at least I have put some dreams into words. That and marry Keanu, aargh! Just kidding. I hope he never gets to read this, he’d be afraid to work with me. Really I am not that obsessed I swear to you. Well, just a little.
