What does “having it all” mean to you? Is it attainable?

Umm… probably not possible, although I wish that it was.

And I’ve set the bar pretty low.

Not fame, not wealth, not even perfect love. Just peace of mind and psychological well-being. But even that seems somewhat out of reach. 😋

So, no. I don’t think it’s possible to have it ALL, even if you set the bar low. You’d have to set it so low that you couldn’t call it ALL anymore.

That’s sounds pretty crappy so let me clear it up before I get anyone feeling down. Day by day, I try to make the best choices for myself first and then for others around me. I try to fill my cup as best I can so that I have some left over for others. Some days are good, some not so much. Some days it’s all I can do to keep it together. Some days I have enough to keep my head above water and someone else’s too.

Just keep treading water, maybe?

I guess that’s the best I have to offer to this.
