I want to be loved, understood, appreciated, adored, held, amused, trusted, needed, wanted, valued, respected, esteemed, treasured, hunted, accepted and remebered.
I now look at my life as a blank canvas. I can put on it whatever I choose. if I don't like it, I can erase it and start again. Or simply build upon what is already there.
¦ I want to live and not merely exist
¦ I want to leave a positive lasting impression on the people I meet
¦ I want people to leave a lasting impression on me
¦ I want to be held and be at peace
¦ I want to be the very best person I can be
¦ I want to be a published author
¦ I want to use the strength I gained in my darkest hours to help others with their healing
¦ I want to be a good role model
¦ I want to continue having good manners
¦ I want to hear the words Please, thank you and you're welcome.
¦ I want my house to reflect who I am
¦ I want to sing at the top of my lungs
¦ I want to die with no regrets
¦ I want to learn and grow from my down days
¦ I want to breath out and let all of my anxiety flood out of me
¦ I am shy, yet very comfortable on stage
¦ I want wooden floors throughout my house
¦ I want to be loved as much as I love
¦ I want be surrounded by the color red
Being on my own these last few months, I have reignited my passion for music. I have been reunited with CD's I had long forgotten.
