My Sunday ‘To Be’ List

by ALI WENTWORTH

I want TO BE more active in the world of social justice. More than posting.

I want TO BE a good mother even if my sense of humor causes my kids to throw food at me.

I want TO BE someone that has cocktails. Fancy ones. But I never liked the taste of alcohol.

I want TO BE able to watch the news without throwing up.

I want TO BE able to adopt every discarded child and animal. Except for snakes. They’re on their own.

I want TO BE in college again. Not because I had flawless skin then, but I would show up to my ethics in the Weimar Republic class. And make more short films.

I want TO BE more active. To stave off death. And deal with my belly.

I want TO BE First Lady.
