When I Grow Up
Jenny, 1977
When I grow up, I want to be me on a really great day. Strong but feeling, honest and true, smart but game for anything. I want to be the first in the fam to graduate from college. To travel anywhere I want in the world. To surround myself with good people. To do things that scare me. And inspire me. To swim in the ocean and hike in the mountains. To grow my faith. To forgive and look forward. To see potential in very small things. To work hard. To succeed as a magazine editor in NYC. To have nights that never end. To eat whatever I want. To do what feels right in my heart. To love and be loved. To make a home. To be a mom... the best one I can figure out how to be. To show my family a love that will always be with them. At 12:01 pm today I turn 31, and these are my dreams come true. I feel so unworthy of my magnificent life so far. I am a lucky chick and I know it.
