Adding music to all aspects of life. Trying to keep a relationship going strong with my amazing God (amidst all of life's distractions). learning from everything and everyone that I come in contact with. learning to not take myself so seriously. learning to laugh at myself. finding out how to love myself. keeping high expectations for myself and for those that I surround myself with.(I like to say myself). re-learning how to enjoy life without alcohol. getting excited about life on a daily basis. searching for those in my generation who are also mesmorized by life. feeling inspired. taking my sweet ass time with my education. figuring out what I want to do with the rest of my life. trying to figure out the person who God created me to be. learning how to be selfless. trying to only impress God and myself. feeding off the fear of not being alive tomorrow. learning to not be judgemental. trying to be slow to anger and quick to forgive. trying not to hold everyone at just arm's length. watching random tv shows with my parents. coming home to my dogs maddie and rookie. driving with the windows down, even if the heater has to be blasted. kick ass concerts with kick ass friends. living in the country, but working in the city. phone conversations with my brother kevin. learning lessons the hard way. answered prayers. playing piano by myself in the sierra college music hall. not settling for anything less than amazing. listening to Clare De Lune. a sunny day after a week of rain. rainy days after too much California sun. road trips with friends. driving alone. coronas with lime. something corporate. black nail polish. little kids. playing pool. being able to take a compliment. pineapple juice. thrift stores. gwen stefani. red lipstick. my converse that I wear entirely too much. getting lost in a good book. not being hungover. feeling confident with who I am. having a best friend to cheer you up when you've been bawling. changing my mind every two minutes. especially with my hair and with guys. contagious laughter. pina colodas and kissing in the rain.
People with Passion for life. People who have something to say. People who have a reason to live. People who can see the good in things. People who make an effort to stay away from the negative. People who dont point fingers at everyone but themselves. People who want to better themselves for the sake of those around them. People who understand the beauty in music. People who realize the love that God has for us and choose to accept that love. A man (not boy) who enjoys life and knows what and who he wants, has the same passion for music that I do, is optimistic, loving, can make me laugh, wears the pants in the relationship ..(doesnt take longer to get ready than I do, doesnt PMS more than me, knows how to get his hands dirty, knows how to fix things, is bigger/stronger than me even when I wear heals, and loves sports/any type of board/anything with wheels), can bring out the good in me, makes me want to be a better person, knows about respect, and...loves the Lord like I do, if not even more. Too much to ask? ;)
