Things I Want.


I want to see the world.  I want to smell the crisp mountain air of the Alps, Andes, Appalachians.  I want to feel the sand and feel the breeze of every coast I can.  I want to see where the great civilizations began and where greater men changed the course of history.  I want to make an impact, and create memories that I feel with all of my heart.  I want to taste cuisine from distant lands and speak with locals who tell their life stories.  I want to learn other languages so that I can understand and appreciate those stories.  I want to create and be inspired every single day of my life.  No matter how large or small of a scale.  I want those around me that make me a better person.  I want to be able to live, share, and laugh with those friends.  Friends that become family.  I want to jump off that cliff, from that plane, and be thrilled by my fear.  I hope I never stop feeling fear, because that fear means that I have something new to experience, and most importantly something to lose.  I want to dance under the stars and feel your face against mine.  I want to be enraptured by your presence and captivated by your smile.  I want to know that my life has been remarkable and that I have left traces of my self in the people that I meet, the obstacles I conquer, and the world I create.  I never want to forget the possibilities that hard work brings.  I want to remember a life well lived is the entire purpose of this wonderful chance of existence.
