The Possibility of Him
I sit here at the computer, day three after another person expressed they didn't see a future with me. Seeing him off wasn't that difficult, I had two dates a week, making a month of only kind of getting to know him. The day it happened, I filled my night with distraction, the day after, I let myself feel the disappointment of starting over. Today, I want to be over it, but unfortunately, I still feel hungover from being let go. The day after it ended, I woke up to a meeting I had forgotten about with a couple who inquired about my videography services. I joined the call with exuberance and played on their excitement and the sweet syrup of love that filled the void while talking about their special day. They were lovely, present, and so full of hope that I typically live by. But that day, all I felt was the lack of possibility. I felt the presence of what they have and the absence of what I cannot seem to find.

Respect Their Answer . Content Warning.
If I were in the position to have a child and pick the gender, as much as I would love a little girl, part of me believes having a boy would be the best option. I would love to have a little girl to dream with for whatever she desires and teach her that she can be the change in big and small ways. But if she is anything like me, she may fall for a boy who comes off as nice but won't respect you when you say no.

Takeaways from a year of 27
This last week I turned 28, a small notch in the late 2os, but nonetheless impactful. I spent my time as a 27-year-old challenging myself constantly in many ways. I solo backpacked through Australia and South East Asia, I basically lived out of my car with temporary housing in between. I learned to be okay with constant transitions and to listen to my needs first. I gave myself the year of 27 to have freedom and an unconventional lifestyle that I knew I would look back on and never regret.
