Teri: I have absolutely no desire to ever ever go to university.
Aunt: Well then, what do you want to do with your life?
*pause*
Aunt: You want to get married and have babies.
Teri: Yes, I want to get married and have babies. I want to love people. I want to use the computer less and have better relationships instead. I want to help those that are hurting. I want to read books and write stories. I want to go for walks and plant gardens. I want to get mail and I want to send mail. I want to raise my children. I want to forgive others and myself. I want to be forgiven. I want to drive my car and ride horses. I want to get more tattoos and use them to tell stories about God's faithfulness. I want to fall asleep in someone's arms. I want to wake up and see the sunrise. I want to see parts of the world. I want to remember the people I meet, and have them remember me. I want to play hockey every now and again. I want to dream. I want to bleed. I want to dance in the rain. But most of all, I want to love God with all of my being. And none of these things require "higher" education. [Or facebook.]
