What I Want From My Life

A brain dump about my innermost thoughts? Sure, why not.

What I Want From My Life
cdn77.com

To stand at the precipice of an unknown cliff as the cold wind curls around my fingertips, encapsulating me in its comforting darkness, the shivers equal parts exhilaration and exposure to the elements.

To feel my eyes be gently blinded by the spectacle of viewing a sunrise unfold in the last minutes of the night - see the purple turn to orange, but not just purple - lilac, lavender, a brick orange, bursts of red and violet. Sense the grossness, but also the refinement, in each trail of color spread through the clouds.

To persevere through terrible and varied darkness, to feel my spirit break and my shoulders crumble under the weight of necessary responsibility and a labor of hate, and come through it all on the other side, smiling and shining.

To continue living for as long as possible, for even though I feel like nobody I currently know even wants me around, someone out there, one day, eventually will, and that happiness will be at the cost of all the previous heartbreak and darkest hours. Or if that doesn't happen, live my life in such a way that it inspires people to wish they were me, or at least want me to be a part of theirs, even in a small way.

To listen to my favorite songs over and over again till my blood thunders with the melodies and aggression contained in them, and remember why I like them. And recommend them to my friends, but it doesn't really work because nobody really likes heavy metal because according to chemistry it's corrosive in nature. Corrosive, but essential, in my opinion.

To finish college, and get one step closer having a comfortable life when I am living it myself. To not want or think twice about purchasing something.

And lastly, try and be a good person

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
