Oh, Do Shutup

Right now, I am looking about me, pondering the future and it is at this point that my life says to me

"Dear Tara, give up now.  You will die before you ever get back to London.  Your dreams are not going to happen.  Your life will be one endless drudge of trying to earn enough money while still being a proper mother."

To which I should like to reply.

"Dear Life, do shutup."
