Nothing's concrete
but is it bad that I want to be a housewife?
After settling in here, living without my parents, cooking for myself and cleaning myself (aka. not mom doing it for me), I've realized I really enjoy all these household duties.
I love cooking and baking and trying new things.
And then taking pictures of everything of course. I send them to my mom and my grandmother because they're the only people I can "show off" to like a child.
I love grocery shopping. I find it so calming, walking through the aisles, like a stress-reliever.
I love cleaning. Or, well, I love the feeling you get from a freshly cleaned house. And I find cleaning the floors is slightly therapeutic.
It's a little taboo to say that my dream is to become a housewife nowadays, isn't it? But I think I'd enjoy it. I could do whatever I wanted, volunteer everywhere I want, read the whole library, bake all day and have kids and a husband to eat it so I don't scarf everything down myself and get fat.
Both my parents work. I'm also an only child. So my childhood was, needless to say, pretty lonely.
Ok, wait, before anyone gets the wrong idea, I think my parents did a wonderful job bringing me up and I loved being a child! I'm really blessed to have had the carefree childhood that I was given.
I'm just saying that, well no one has a perfect life, and sometimes I felt sad that I had to go to daycare after school when all the other kids were running into their parents' arms after school to happily return home. And sometimes I felt that my parents couldn't come see my performances or displays on that last day of summer camp when it seemed as if everyone else's parents were there to watch.
And also, I found summer camp really boring. And before and aftercare were even boringer.
I can be strong and independent as a housewife too. I can be intelligent and successful as a housewife too. I can be a feminist as a housewife.
So, no, I suppose I've answered my question. It is not bad that I want to be a housewife.
