Complete The (Short) Story (1) ✍🏽
At
first, we thought the black liquid was oil, that we’d struck it rich and that
we’d be able to retire and live in leisure. We actually started writing down
all the ways we’d spend the money. Our first choice was ________
a big ass house in the hills where the surrounding neighbors are friendly and the birds respect the cars that are foreign. Something big with about 6 bedrooms and 8 bathrooms because you know, you can never have too many bathrooms. California wouldn’t be ready for our arrival but we damn sure would be ready to arrive. Feeling like the stars that so many moonwalk on every single day. And then of course we’d have to buy a private jet to travel all around the world seeing the places we only dreamed of visiting when we were kids. Paris would be the first place on the list. Taking selfies in front of the Eifel Tower feeling presidential like Eisenhower.

Taking trips to Belize to deep sea dive in the Great Blue Hole.
Buying
everything on our adult Christmas list without having to visit the North Pole. You said you always wanted to own a Lamborghini and I’ve always wanted to own
anything that I could truly call my own. Having lunch with Oprah while sipping
tea feeling like royalty on a throne. Our eyes were looking too big while we
were out here digging for this oil. But then reality struck us when we realized
that the black oil we thought were oil was really black ink. Not sure why ink
was buried in the ground like treasure but that’s neither here or there.
What is here is the heartbreak on our face because we realized that we were excited from spending money that we haven’t even secured yet. Like so many people do and that’s not something anyone should do because you set yourself up for what we’re feeling now; disappointment. One day we will strike it rich my friend but until we do, don’t ever stop dreaming or believing. The world will be ours one day and I feel it’s true. But as of right now, I already feel rich because I’ve got someone as awesome as you.
