What if I'd been a ...cowgirl?

March 25, 2000

"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."
