she dreamed of skylines

she dreamed of skylines
towers that touch the clouds
while others dream of colonial houses
with white picket fences
 
she fantasized about trekking
across the globe as others 
plan for babies and backyard
birthday parties
 
she steps to her own drumbeat
without any regrets

    I have endless admiration for those who dare to step to their own drumbeat, no matter if it's seemingly out of step!

    Why not, dream of skylines and towers that touch the clouds.

    That positive ending is so empowering! "She steps to her own drumbeat
    without any regrets."

    Skyscrapers (as far as I'm concerned) are far more attractive in photographs than in reality. but that's just me, I suppose.

    Loved your approach to this prompt!

    Sometimes it's a challenge to walk to your own drumbeat... but I believe that there are rewards for being bold like that.

    It is our life and entirely up to us to live it satisfying ourselves. Mind you there will always be a parent or two that will be waiting for a grandchild!
