Reality
The moment when you realise that little girls from terraced houses in Birmingham don't become ballet dancers - reality.
The moment when you realise that you probably won't marry David Cassidy, Steve McQueen or Robert Redford - reality.
The moment when you open the exam result envelope and realise that you should have studied harder - reality.
The moment when the man you thought you'd marry tells you he's changed his mind - reality.
The moment when you realise you've found The One - reality.
The moment when your handed a new born and realise things will never be the same again - reality.
The moment you're left alone with said new born for the first time - reality.
The first grey hair, the first moment you look in a mirror and see your mother looking back - reality.
The moment you realise you're probably not going to write a Booker winner this year - reality.
The moment you learn to accept all this and be content with your lot - reality.
Our lives all have a variation of this, don't they? But the last one, acceptance and contentment, that's what we all need really, isn't it? Thank you for sharing with #ThePrompt x
ReplyDeleteYes, it's a tricky one though.
DeleteI can relate to all of these - well, other than not marrying Robert Redford or David Cassidy. Both those are nominally still on my bucket list.
