A two-story house with a backyard in the suburbs, a dog or two, a car of my own I would park in the cobblestone driveway after getting home from the job I surely would adore.

A porch with a cushioned Avalon patio chair where I would sit and read, watching kids on their bikes, unafraid of the dark — unlike the way I grew up.
