Next Life

Is anyone else thinking about what they want to do and be in the next life?  I am realizing I spend a bit of time saying “I want to do that next life”.  I know I (hopefully) have another 25-30 years, which is a good amount of time, but there are some things you just can’t do with the time you have left.

For instance, next life, I want to attend school more than I skip it (if we even have the same school system).  I want to focus less on boys.  I still want to be a girl but focus on something else in highschool.  Like learning.  I want to play sports AND music.  I want band to be cool again, and this time I WILL practice that piano. I promise. I want to take up dancing too. Maybe drama club. Maybe even singing and dancing?

I want to meet my “soul-mate” in my 20’s.  Maybe in college.  I want us to both be professionals in our own right.  I want to make a difference in whatever I do. I want to get married and stay married our whole lives and celebrate our 70th wedding anniversary together.  After our initial apartment together, when we have kids I want to get one house and stay in it our entire lifetime.  So our kids always have “home”.  The same “home” and at the end of our lives (next time) there will be uncounted treasures and memories throughout that house.  Sure they’ll sell it, but we won’t. I guess additional vacation homes would be okay too.

I want to grow up in a different country, or maybe New York City.  LOL. That’s like a different country. I would have loved to have grown up in the city.  I mean how different would my life have been.  I can already see how even growing up in the city limits of Pittsburgh would have been so different than the suburbs where I grew up.  I love hearing the stories from my neighbors, life long residents of “the city” and taking inclines and busses and downtown was their “up street” – it’s so fascinating to me to think of growing up that way.  It sounds more fun and adventurous than how I grew up, looking for rides to get off that hill. What if I could have jumped on a subway to get where I needed to go?

Living in Europe would be fascinating.  I’ve heard on the border of some countries people know FIVE languages just because they have to.  FIVE.  I want to know five languages too. 

I’d like to have the same siblings, but my parents would have to have some major tweaking.  They can be the same but there’s going to have to be some ground rules!  I wouldn’t mind trying it all again with all of us.  But I’m not joking about the tweaking.

And I hope to the Gods I get the same children and more.  I had an astrologer tell me that I’ve never been poor in a past life.  LOL.  Seriously, wtf.  She also said because of this wealth I’ve never raised my own kids.  So, if this is my first time doing that, and I started small with 2, maybe after review it’ll be determined that I did okay and we can add a couple more next time.  Not like a litter, but 4 would be good.  Nice round number. With the same father. Although I’m okay with adopting too!

I know there are many years ahead of me which is why I am looking for that one “grandma” house so when I have grandchildren it will be Grandma’s house for at least the rest of mine and their lives together.  And they will have their memories of being at grandma’s.  The house also needs to have a yard for the grandpups.  So they can get excited to spend the weekend at grandmas too. Those pups are easy though. They get excited regardless of a yard.

Unfortunately, so far, this next and final house is alluding me. Because this is not a wealthy lifetime (like who decided that?) I am not competitive enough to get these houses that come on the market. I am not sure what the message is from the universe and at times I wonder if I’m not supposed to resettle in this area.  Spain looks pretty.  But that would be a far visit for those grandpups.  Of course we could all move there couldn’t we?  Is it too late for me to learn another language?  Hola?

The Gemini that I am is feeling the wanderlust of wanting to do something so totally different and wanting that grandma’s house that never changes and is constant. In the past I had no interest in traveling to Europe.  Now I have the next five years of European trips planned out. One a year. I wonder if I planned to have money at least the rest of my life or if this life has been totally devoted to “wanting more”. I’ll have to go back to that Astrologer.
