that's all i can think of for now
 
marry the love of my life.
have a family.
be happy.

i went to a funeral today. the woman who passed was like a second mother to me. she was disabled and at times she couldn't walk. but she was the strongest person i knew for a long time. she fought her disorder tooth and nail until it finally became too much to bear. still, she lived a beautiful life up until she was crippled. and the proof of that was the turn out of those who came to say goodbye. she touched so many lives and changed so many people. it made me realize, its not the number of airplanes you jump out of, its not the number of places you travel to, its not the stuff you have or the things you buy. none of that matters. what matters is how much you love, and how much you are loved.

so in my life, i want to love without fear of losing, without fear of being broken, without fear of hurting. i want to love completely, totally, and with everything in my heart. before i die, i just want to love.
 
-Fall in love.
-Get married.
-Be on Broadway.
-Travel to a European country.
-Have a family.
-Meet Dougie Poynter. [yes, yes. it sounds childish, and i really don't care. :p]
-Go cliff diving.
-Travel across country with some of my best friends.
-Go to Ellis Island.


I'm sure I have more, I just can't think straight right now.
