The Prompt: “I woke up in 2021…”

My Submission 🙂

I woke up in 2021, exactly the same. Still a little sad, still a little overweight, still worried about the world I brought my children into. My hair is still a shade of mousy brown, my kitchen is still a mess, and I’m still gliding past negative posts on social media. My back is still sore, I’m still broke, and my car still won’t start. I still hate brussel sprouts, I still don’t have a set direction in life, and I’m still complaining about things that don’t really matter. 

I woke up in 2021, exactly the same. Still quite happy, feeling okay about my body, and providing the best life I can for my children. My hair has never been so healthy in its natural state, my kitchen still smells of last night’s delicious dinner, and I found at least five social media posts that made me smile or laugh out loud. I am still mobile, I have a roof over my head and food on the table, and I don’t have anywhere I need to go right now. I’m willing to acquire a taste for new things, my options in life are limitless, and I am thankful for what I have.
