M.A.S.H

Mansion, apartment, shed, house

We all wanted to be rich with a mansion and a nice car, the man of our dreams, a small number of kids, and somehow still partake in our dream job. But that never happened.

I hope I don't end up like the girl who rolled a three.

Living in a run down apartment with someone I settled for. Riding the bus to a job I hate. And trying to take care of 13 kids all under the age of 15.

But I also hope I don't end up like the girl who rolled a seven.

Living in a mansion with no kids and married to a workaholic. Driving my Mercedes to the supermarket to buy food and make dinner every night alone.

I rolled a five.

Living in my parents house, driving a minivan, working in an office below ground, single, but happy.

Next year I'll roll a nine. Living in an apartment, walking, teaching, single and happy.

A few years later I hope I roll an eleven.  Living in an apartment, learning, exploring, driving, walking, hopefully not single, happy.

I hope the last dice I roll will be a two. Living in a house with the man of my dreams, four kids, a dog and a cat, pursuing my dream job, and peacefully happy.

Overripe

Like an apple, you picked me too late. I was bruised and full of doubt.
And when you asked me to dance I said yes, but only because I didn't know how to say no when you smiled at me like that. The next day you made it clear I was only a distraction. The sweetness you tasted was to rid the bitterness of your mistakes with the last girl. You never told me this, but I knew. I know. I just kept dancing.

I didn't even know

I didn't even know this was Hozier and was like "wow this guy is so good!" That's when I read the title.... Don't ever ask me who the artist is or what the song is called playing on the radio. I never know, I just listen. Enjoy!
