idle eyes

Is it bad to be always wanting more? Or does that just lead to a life of dissatisfaction and regret?

Battling the balance between living contently and aspiring to more.

Things I want for my life...

Go back to school
Remain close to family and friends
Explore new places
Have a good sense of history
Make art
Learn new things... cooking, hiking, knitting, welding, building, gardening and more...
Write a book
Stay grounded
Become a Master Teacher
Teach at a college
Own a Home
Have a studio
Go back to Italy
Move back to Baltimore and be a part of the culture and community there

so many things... sometimes I feel like life is just rushing by and I'm not getting anything done. It all keeps moving and moving. My family is growing all the time now that everyone is having babies and I am excited for my sister to have her first child and simultaneously terrified. I want to be by her side to help her the whole time but she lives so far away. At the same time, though, I am happy here and know in my heart it was the right decision for me.

more, more, more. Billy Idol I know how she felt.
