Week 1 Celine

I really love the idea of graduation and being able to go to college to learn about things I actually enjoy without feeling like my freedom is being snatched away, but I can’t help but wonder about what would come afterwards. Yesterday at my friend’s house, I couldn’t help but notice the communal environment of their family (her mom and three other siblings were also home). Knowing this friend, I expect she will grow up to raise her own family and try to live up to being a dutiful mother and wife, and yet somehow I cannot as easily imagine the same for me. If anything, not having my own biological kids would help with the overpopulation problem, and the thought of settling down in a long-term monogamous relationship doesn’t appeal to me. I want my freedom. I would be totally fine with vagabonding around for a few years. Maybe I’m just a natural lone wolf. The pack is not my calling. Besides, solitude won’t kill you.
