Circumstances in Chance

I find myself crying, yearning for a life I will never get to live. I am a cursed, hopeless romantic—a family woman without a family of her own.

I couldn't wait to get married, build a home, and raise children. I dreamed of baking treats every weekend, managing a farm with my kids, decorating our space, and taking them to town for lunch once a week. I longed for a hands-on rural life, filled with laughter and love, shared with the family I always imagined.

I couldn't wait. But now—I must only wait.

Wait for a time that will never come.

This future no longer belongs to me. My future is in my past. I no longer have the passion or the drive. I am stuck—ironically, in the very place where I once judged others for staying.
