I want to be remembered for my love, not my wallet.

10 Things I Would Rather Have Than A Million Dollars
Quotesgram

1. A supportive family.

Who needs a million dollars when you have a family that you know will love you unconditionally? To me, this is worth more than money could ever buy.

2. Close friends.

Friends and family truly are everything. A good support system is crucial to living a life that makes you happy and touches others. Your support system would never really be complete without good friends by your side.

3. A loving boyfriend.

What would I do without my boyfriend? He is my number one fan, my best friend, and a part of my family. He will forever be my rock and my guiding light. If you find someone who makes you smile when he walks into a room, don't let him go.

4. A cat.

Cats are one of God's greatest gifts to humankind. My cat is an angel. She always knows when to come cuddle with me, she keeps me warm and dries my tears. I wouldn't be half the person I am today without her by my side, or should I say, on my feet.

5. A dog.

Not everyone loves cats, but almost everyone shares a mutual love for dogs. They are like little (or big) rays of sunshine that view their owners as the purest and perfect humans. They can really do no wrong, in my opinion.

6. Respect from those who know me.

I have worked so hard to be the person I am today. And part of that is keeping up a respectful image. I want the people I respect to respect me in the same manner. I want to be someone who parents use as an example for their children, and who my peers look up to and follow.

7. Good grades.

Part of being a respectable and happy person is keeping up on grades and schooling. I would rather have all A's than a million dollars, because, with those A's, I could earn a million dollars myself.

8. I would rather make a difference.

I want to do something that makes a difference, and be known for that. To me, that is so much more crucial than anything else in this world.

9. I would rather be known as someone who cared for others.

I strive to be compassionate and be known as someone who is. In these times of division, I strive to be there for everyone and anyone who needs it.

10. I would rather change the world.

And I hope someday I can look back on this with a smile and know I did everything I could to do so.

The Unwritten Rules Of "Talking"

What is "talking?" How does one "talk?"

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
