Most of the time, I am pretty calm, laid back, cheerful or whatever. But one thing that is lurking under my sweet, professional demeanor is a twinge of sadness that my life is so... not normal. And, for the most part, I don't want it to be. Time has slipped by and it is just weird to me that I, a person who is pretty darn down to earth, wouldn't just fall into the normal path of life... college, work, marriage, house, kids. Even scarier is that I just don't feel like those things are going to happen. I dunno, its just wierd to me & every now and then really drags me down. Today, though, today I cherished my single lady freedom & went for an evening photo shoot with dma. The waterfront was pretty as usual, the salty air was refreshing, per usual, but what struck me the most was ... this is Wednesday. It is the middle of the darn week & we are just goofing around. If I *did* have the traditional marriage/house/kids (& dog???) a Wednesday would have probably been filled with homework, referring a childish battle of some sort & baking cookies for the Mr. to take to work or something.
Instead, I was free to do whatever I wanted, free to enjoy a nice stroll along with waterfront, free to admire the sparkly lights of Seattle from Alki. This isn't my best picture of the watefront from a compositional standpoint, but I wanted to take a picture to remember the moment.
