365 Questions--April 1
What is your biggest dream?
Honestly my biggest dream is having a big family with stability. Shocking, right? I've written about my family a few times on here. My family is really at my core. Everything I do is because of them, good and bad. Family is a big deal for me. It's a lot of things that go into that.
Biologically, I only have sister. I always wished that I had more blood siblings, but I also grew up with my cousins. It's like 10 of us (first cousins) and we were always around each other. There's so many stories I could tell about stuff that happened between us. It was never a dull moment. Ever. Because I know that my children will probably never have as many cousins, well at least not on my side. I think when the family is bigger, it kind of forces the family to be closer as a unit.
So like, my parents live in a almost 4000 sq ft house. It's 5 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, and 2 half bathrooms. There are 3 levels, including a basement. All this house and it's just me, my sister, and my parents. We could all be in the house and not have to see each other. Meanwhile, when I went to my granddaddy's house, it was 10 kids there in a 1400 sq ft house. We were always in each other's faces, but I know if something ever happened I could call them. I want that for my children.
My cousins and I are going to go on trips together. Not because our parents are making us, but because we want to go. I want my children to be able to get along without me. I don't want my family to fall apart when I'm no longer here.
I also want my children to be able to come to me. I don't have the best relationship with my parents, and it's nobody's fault. Our personalities just don't mesh well. That and there's a lot of generational cycles within both of my parents. I want to break those cycles with my children. I want my children to be able to talk to me. I want to be there for my children, just like my grandparents were there for me. But of course I do want to give the stability that my parents gave my sister and me.
