Instead of college, I dreamed of marriage instead of a career, I yearned for children. There was nothing I was working toward, no great goals or accomplishments.
The anxiety, the desperation, that beautiful, agonizing ache called love. I wanted butterflies, holding hands, stolen kisses in the backseat of a car, late-night phone calls, all of it. And to me, happiness could only be found within the arms of a man.
I’d been in love with the idea of love for as long as I could remember, full of flighty, fluffy notions of what happiness truly was. Unlike my ambitious older sister, I was a born romantic. I loved books with happy endings and romantic movies, and couldn’t wait to fall in love. I loved my mom, my dad, and my big sister with all my heart. I grew up in a small town in Montana surrounded by down-to-earth, simple people with small, simple dreams. It is up to us to dig ourselves out, to come to terms with our faults, to embrace not only our imperfections but those of the ones we love, and to once again find the path we strayed from. Our mistakes that beat us down and cover us in guilt and shame, burying us a little more with each successive hardship. It is our journey that burdens us and leads us astray. I wasn’t always broken we are all born pure. Hidden in the shadows of despair, she found her path, her color, within her beating and beautifully bright red heart. So she wandered through her life, unknowing and unsure, until realizing her path had always been right there in front of her from the start. It was misery that washed her color away, leading her off her path and astray. only dreams.Īnd for my children, because who would I be without them?

To love that kills and to love that heals, to the feel of cracked leather against your cheek, the sun on your back, and the wind in your hair, to the road beneath you, to the path you’ve traveled, and the ones you’ve yet to take. To the holes in our T-shirts, to beaten-up jeans and favorite bandannas, to the sound of laughter, the clinking of glasses, to spontaneous sex, to the smell of exhaust fumes and cigarette smoke. To all my fellow 47%ers out there, to the little red-haired boys with freckles sprinkled across their cheeks, women who wear their broken hearts on their sleeves, and old men with sad stories to tell.
