Every Friday we unite for five minutes. Only five minutes, that's all we get, that's all we have. And then, right where we are, no edits or second thoughts, we publish those words. This week, we write on anticipate.
You imagine quite a life for yourself.
Quite a world.
You will be married, there will be babies.
You will live where it's warm.
You anticipate very little trouble.
Just an open world for you.
You too imagine quite a life.
You will be playing basketball for Syracuse at first.
You will move on from there.
You have this dream, and sports are a part of it.
You never anticipate trouble. Why would there ever be trouble?
You have this heart of gold so how could there ever be trouble?
I imagine a life for you both too.
One filled with things you have dreamt of. One filled with things you never even imagined.
I anticipate there will be laughter, joy, love.
I anticipate there will also be heartache, goodbyes, and times of extreme loneliness.
I anticipate there will be times of trouble, but you will both navigate them, albeit, differently.
You are both so different.
I imagine a life for you both too.
And at times I picture it quiet, little, like ours.
And at times I picture it big and loud and full of life, like ours.
I anticipate this life you create, just like we did.
