co-existing

This week Matt and I went to Crocker Park and ended up at the bookstore drinking coffee and talking about life (which is usually most good). We were talking about the future and children and such things. Matt said that he didn't think he wanted to be responsible for another person's life and that being free to do whatever, whenever really appealed to him. I thought about how I always wanted to have a family, but I have always wanted to travel and have the freedom Matt was talking about. It wasn't til right then that I realized those two things probably cannot exist together. This led me to thinking about what I really wanted. Do I want a family and a 9-5 job because that's what I want or because that's what I think I should want? I have had dreams, literal dreams, of traveling and seeing things that grace postcards and traveling roadways that I have read about. I know that's part of what I want. I guess its a good thing I'm not in a hurry to decide.
