The exact mood of every woman over 40, on a shirt.
Born to be wild. Forced to be responsible. Both true. Both at once. Both written on a longhorn skull surrounded by desert flowers — vintage rodeo poster style, hand-pressed on Comfort Colors heavyweight blue jean.
The phrase that says what every mom, every working woman, every wife, every responsible adult who used to be feral is already thinking.
