Traveling makes you open to new experiences.
Mark Twain loved to travel and once wrote, “Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one’s lifetime.” Source Source 2

Am I feeling dirty feelings?
This needs to happen.
Happy feelings
1950s Kitchen
I want you to know that you’re on my mind. You are loved, cared about, worried about, and cried over. I want you. I need you. I desire you.
You are not even a being that I can hold in my arms, and I ache for you. I ache for you because I want to be your mother. The ache in my heart for you may not be enough to make you real, and that breaks my heart.
You need to know that I’m fighting for you, my love. I’m fighting so hard that I feel this tightness of urgency. I want you to be real, but I realize that I can’t force you into being of this world. Your father is scared, and I don’t know how to comfort him. I don’t know how to protect him from his valid fears.
Know that you are wanted, but fears can push you back and make you evaluate what you want for your future. I want you so damn much that I’m forgetting your father has feelings, and I need to respect them. I want him to want you like I want you.
I’m praying to God that if you are to be real, then to please put the desire of you in his heart. Or if you are not to be, then take the desire from mine.
You will always be wanted, you will always be loved, you will always be on my mind.

Husband and I were arguing, tears were shed, hugs were given, but I still cooked for him, because I love his stupid face.
I can't wait. Ugh. I think I know when my third one will be.
If a person has experienced just one episode of depression in their lifetime, there’s a 50% chance they will have a second. If that happens, they become 80% more likely to endure it a third time. Source
