Maybe We Can Have It All

 
That whole ‘so you can have it all.’ Nope, not at the same time. That’s a lie. And it’s not always enough to lean in, because that shit doesn’t work all the time.
— Michelle Obama

I agree that society's traditional definition of "all" is utterly elusive. However, what I learned during this ugly cry year of Covid is that we can have it all if we just REDEFINE our all. It doesn't have to be a tall order either. Oh and you can change your "all" anytime. With that in mind, here's my "all" for right now:

  • I have a pulse and my family is healthy.

  • We're not broke.

  • There's wine somewhere in this house.
