"What if we'd moved back to Texas and Mom had had a kid? Hmmm....maybe I would be living in California or Japan right now, if she had married a Navy guy or any sort of military man. What if we had stayed in Dallas? I would be so different. Maybe a cowgirl. And I'd drive a big Chevy truck and blare Garth. Maybe I'd fall into a rock-n-roll crowd there too. Are you who you are always? Maybe I'd be sitting on the floor in my room at 11:50 on a Saturday night writing in my journal.
I wonder what I'm going to be like when I grow up. When I'm an adult out there doing all that responsible adult stuff. I hope I don't get caught up in the hassles of life. I want to remember how to have fun - I want laugh a lot and be true to myself. Maybe I'll still be into art and music and the beauty of this poetic world."
