Burn


I've been on a slow burn lately. I think it's my age. Or maybe my hormones. Or maybe my job. Or maybe I just always hated everything in the entire world and never realized it. I've been thinking about what I want to do with my life now that I'm not defined by motherhood. Who knew there was an end to that tunnel? It sure caught me by surprise.

I want to do stuff I've never done and go places I've never been. I want to go to the desert. I want to camp, even though nature basically scares the crap out of me. I want to take off in the car with a tent and a laptop and see where I wind up.

And before I die, I will go to Burning Man.
