White picket fence.
I want it now.
I can smell the barbecue chicken aroma
Floating through the yard—
That my future husband made.
Playing spades and drinking champagne.
A nice, blue house.
Not too large.
I’m not picky.
Buying a house just shouldn’t be this tricky.
I’d vote for Mike Pence if he decides to run.
If that’s all it takes to see
My dream come true.
It would be so fun.
To watch the children play and giggle.
If only I was born 70 years ago,
when homes cost a nickel…
So, I’ll stay here at Mom’s house.
Rent is way too high…
Until I become a lucky one’s spouse.
Thank you for reading! 💙

Stop Wasting Time with the Wrong Person: Embrace Your Worth and Move On. Are you tired of feeling ignored, unappreciated, and unloved in your relationship? Do you find yourself constantly trying to reach out to someone who seems completely uninterested in your life? It's time to take a step back, reevaluate your relationship, and ask yourself: "Why am I wasting my time with the wrong person?"

181 Keeping Watch
Each day she watched through her window. Watched? Perhaps an exaggeration: a monochromatic nuclear aftermath remaining of the world, blurring into a blindness--loss of contrast and depth of field. Achromatic aberrations displayed a waste-scape stratified in grays.

Yeah, for sure, I am a single mom. I had these daydreams a lot. Maybe one day!
True story for many of us unfortunately! I like the dark humour in this though! Great job.
I felt this on a personal level lol
I agree ❤️💯😉 and also great picture of the Blue House❗
It's real, but it's not free. It's a fight to keep. Plus no relationship is perfect so then don't expect to never fight with your spouse, you're two diff ppl after all. Like I said it is a lot of work to achieve and keep. Got to be a fighter.
