Everything at once

"As warm as the sun, as silly as fun

As cool as a tree, as scary as the sea

As hot as fire, cold as ice

Sweet as sugar and everything nice

As old as time, as straight as a line

As royal as a queen, as buzzed as a bee

As stealth as a tiger, smooth as a glider

Pure as a melody, pure as I wanna be

All

I wanna be

Oh-oh-oh, all

I wanna be

Oh-oh-oh, all

I wanna be

Is everything

Everything at once"


This song is my current anthem. I want to be everything at once. One day it's ballet. The next I want to be a pianist. Next I want to be a Literature professor when I retire. And then I want to live alone in the forest, wearing flowy linen dresses and walking barefoot, talking to my animal friends. And then I want to go hiking, run a marathon, be your regular granola girl. And the next I want to be the intellectual, brooding type who wear turtle neck and pencil cut skirt partnered with my brogues and high black socks. At the same time I want to spend my time with my family, stay with my mother and take care of her.


Then there is this part of me who would like to move to Vietnam for a few months or maybe live in the different cities of the Philippines, especially Baguio. Then I also want to brew teas I made for friends. Knit sweaters for loved ones. And paint and be kind and be healthy and have a good skin, have 8hours sleep, and jog in the morning and/or write in the morning and have a artsy apartment in the city that windows are overflowing with wildflowers. And recycle and help mother earth,


I want to be everything at once.


And then maybe I can be all this and maybe not. But right now as I write this, this does not seem so hard to accomplish. I can start little by little. One project at a time. Then maybe I could be everything at once.
