What does “having it all” mean to you? Is it attainable?
These prompts don’t inspire me to write. The only inspiration this one gave me was to think of song lyrics. To answer the question, yes, it’s attainable: I found the song lyrics without a problem.
One song is probably familiar to most people:
Didn’t We Almost Have It All
Song by Whitney Houston
Remember when we held on in the rain The night we almost lost it Once again we can take the night into tomorrow Living on feelings Touching you I feel it all again
Didn’t we almost have it all When love was all we had worth giving? The ride with you was worth the fall my friend Loving you makes life worth living Didn’t we almost have it all The night we held on till the morning You know you’ll never love that way again Didn’t we almost have it all
The way you used to touch me felt so fine We kept our hearts together down the line A moment in the soul can last forever Comfort and keep us Help me bring the feeling back again
Didn’t we almost have it all When love was all we had worth giving? The ride with you was worth the fall my friend Loving you makes life worth living Didn’t we almost have it all The night we held on till the morning You know you’ll never love that way again Didn’t we almost have it all
Didn’t we have the best of times When love was young and new? Couldn’t we reach inside and find The world of me and you? We’ll never lose it again ‘Cause once you know what love is You never let it end
Didn’t we almost have it all When love was all we had worth giving? The ride with you was worth the fall my friend Loving you makes life worth living
Didn’t we almost have it all The night we held on till the morning You know you’ll never love that way again Didn’t we almost have it all
May you have auspiciousness and causes of success May you have the confidence to always do your best May you take no effort in your being generous Sharing what you can, nothing more nothing less May you know the meaning of the word happiness May you always lead from the beating in your chest May you be treated like an esteemed guest May you get to rest, may you catch your breath
And may the best of your todays be the worst of your tomorrows And may the road less paved be the road that you follow
Well here’s to the hearts that you’re gonna break Here’s to the lives that you’re gonna change Here’s to the infinite possible ways to love you I want you to have it Here’s to the good times we’re gonna have You don’t need money, you got a free pass Here’s to the fact that I’ll be sad without you I want you to have it all
Oh! I want you to have it all I want you to have it I want you to have it all
May you be as fascinating as a slap bracelet May you keep the chaos and the clutter off your desk May you have unquestionable health and less stress Having no possessions though immeasurable wealth May you get a gold star on your next test May your educated guesses always be correct And may you win prizes shining like diamonds May you really own it each moment to the next
And may the best of your todays be the worst of your tomorrows And may the road less paved be the road that you follow
Well here’s to the hearts that you’re gonna break Here’s to the lives that you’re gonna change Here’s to the infinite possible ways to love you I want you to have it Here’s to the good times we’re gonna have You don’t need money, you got a free pass Here’s to the fact that I’ll be sad without you I want you to have it all
Oh, I want you to have it all I want you to have it I want you to have it all
Oh, I want you to have it all All you can imagine All, no matter what your path is If you believe it then anything can happen Go, go, go raise your glasses Go, go, go you can have it all I toast you
Here’s to the hearts that you’re gonna break Here’s to the lives that you’re gonna change Here’s to the infinite possible ways to love you I want you to have it Here’s to the good times we’re gonna have You don’t need money, you got a free pass Here’s to the fact that I’ll be sad without you I want you to have it all
Oh, I want you to have it all I want you to have it I want you to have it all
Here’s to the good times we’re gonna have Here’s to you always making me laugh Here’s to the fact that I’ll be sad without you I want you to have it all
Either way, it’s Hello Kitty. It all started with a pencil case my dad brought back from one of his trips to Japan. I was about three years old. I no longer have the pencil case, and I curse when I think about the pencil case’s missing status, but I have plenty of other collectibles. If I see something HK, I have to have it.
Do I answer this prompt? Are they data mining? Do they want to know if we’re using a certain brand of calcium to prevent bone breakage?
Yes, I’ve broken my tailbone, though I have no idea how. I may have broken a toe, but I never had an x-ray. Other than that, I don’t think so.
Have I broken my own heart? Several times. Will I try again to break it? Statistically, yes.
Let’s segue into my song lyrics for the day:
Don’t Get Me Wrong (2007 Remaster)
The Pretenders
Don’t get me wrong If I’m looking kind of dazzled I see neon lights Whenever you walk by
Don’t get me wrong If you say, “Hello”, and I take a ride Upon a sea where the mystic moon Is playing havoc with the tide Don’t get me wrong
Don’t get me wrong If I’m acting so distracted I’m thinking about the fireworks That go off when you smile
Don’t get me wrong If I split like light refracted I’m only off to wander Across a moonlit mile
Once in awhile Two people meet Seemingly for no reason They just pass on the street Suddenly thunder, showers everywhere Who can explain the thunder and rain But there’s something in the air
Don’t get me wrong If I come and go like fashion I might be great tomorrow But hopeless yesterday
Don’t get me wrong If I fall in the mode of passion It might be unbelievable But let’s not say, “So long” It might just be fantastic Don’t get me wrong
When I see a daddy longlegs, I’ve got to high five at least one leg.Tiny spider web covered with dew, inside of my lavender seedlings.This is Katherine I. She was my friend. She was fierce. She was an Orb Weaver. She made her home on my porch a few years ago. I watched her repair her web every morning. It was fascinating. She lived well into December of that year and left two egg sacs, which I moved to a safer place. I miss her. Katherine doing Katherine things.RIP, Katherine I. She lived until mid December of that year. I promised her I would take care of her babies and move them to a safer place for the winter. And when she died, I scooped her up and put her in this tissue, and then buried her in front of her clematis vine home.Katherine’s web. This is a typical feature of an orb weaver’s web. They are very large webs, taking up the spanse between the two porch poles. A spiderweb captured on a chilly morning.Me looking for Katherine while taking photos of my wig – we were friends and all, but I didn’t want an orb weaver in my hair. Respect where respect is due.
“It's Amy,” I said.
