Domestic desires

I want a house. With a garden, a backyard, pool and patio area. A place with a great outdoor area for entertaining guests during a weekend barbeque, and a cosy interior for having nights curled up on the couch with a DVD and a glass of wine.

And I want a cat. To sit on my lap while I watch TV. Or sleep at the foot of my bed, nearly pushing me off the edge.

I imagine sunshine and fresh air in a big, beautiful home with a cheeky cat and a handsome man.

I have been socialised to believe in independence. Financially, emotionally and socially. My wants of late go against this. And it's doing my head in :(
