Dreams Of Tomorrow

Have you every wanted to be someone or do something that inspires people?

Have you ever wanted to be the best person that you could ever be?

Wanted to do everything, accomplish everything, see everything, be everything?

Change the world?

I do.

I want to make people notice me.

I want people to see me and know who I am.

I want to inspire people.

I want to be know for making hurt people better,

For making the sad, happy.

For giving hope in a hopeless world.

I want to change the world.

My life is a endless amount of wants, mayb

es, and could-bes.

I want to travel the world.

If I could I would jump on the next plane out of the country tomorrow.

Go some where no one knows me.

I want to be inspired by the world around me,

the God in me,

and then turn around and do it again the next day.

Lately I can't seem to learn enough, or experience enough, or see enough.

My life feels so dull and lacking lustre.

So bland and boring.

So not, colorful enough.

One day I am just going to leave, tell know one where I am going,

no one where I am from.

Live for the tomorrow of life.

I want to see places that inspire,

meet people who inspire,

hear stories that inspire.

I want to know what the world looks like, not just see through pictures or hear from stories.

My feet want to run and run and run until I reach every knook and cranny of this beautiful world.

I want to marvel, to wonder, to learn, to laugh, to cry, to understand.

Until then, I'll dream, and live, and yearn for those days.

That thought makes me weep for joy and sorrow.

For joy that someday maybe I can be honored by the adventures I am given.

For sorrow because tomorrow year seems to far to stand.

What I Should Be Doing

As it turns out, this weekend has kind of been a bummer.

I'm sick.

Okay, well, not really cough-cough-flu-virus-sick

More like I-want-to-sleep-until-I-die-cut-off-my-legs-can't-eat-losing-6-pounds-in-2-days-sick.

Yeah it is wonderful.

And totally what I want to happen 26 days before I leave to go out of town, by myself, for a month.

And also totally what I want happening the night before my sweet 16 birthday party.

I could tell my wonderful experience on Thursday night/Friday morning but it is a long, painful, boring, and not very interesting

so

I'm just going to tell you the things I should be doing during all this free time, instead of watching Netfilx, sleeping, and watching TV

(Remember, I like making lists)

1. I should be reading the 5 library books I have that are due on Wednesday

2. I should be coming up with a term paper topic

3. I should be doing more laundry

4. I should be eating something more stable then a handful of chips and a couple of M&Ms

5. I should be outside helping my Dad clean up our swimming pool

6. I should be finishing Algebra I

7. I should be at my mom's cousin's wedding shower

and

8. I should be researching what senators do

But for some reason I just don't feel like it

Lists, planning, summer, DC and more lists

Obviously it is very cliche to say that 'This summer is going to be the best summer of my life' but honestly that is the way I feel.

This summer I have awesome opportunities!

There are so many things I want to do and see.

Science shows (sorry, psychology is kind of my thing) that people who visualize, make lists, and goals, achieve goals, seize opportunities, and ultimately improve life quality by 80%.

Therefore I like to visualize and make lists.

I make them all the time.

I made one for things I want to do before I die.

I was the kid who always had every birthday party planned like 6 months in advance.

Yeah, I was such a cool kid.

This summer I want to try new things, meet new people, eat new food, go new places and ultimately be put out of my element.

This summer I want to be the summer of newness.

It seems like this summer has just started but is already half way over.

But yet I still have a month before I leave for 3 1/2 weeks in DC.

Well 31 days to be exact.

Crazy, 31 days and the only thing that I have for my trip is my uniform, shoes, and 2 pair of shorts.

Not even a plane ticket.

So prepared, I know.

I just wish I was there already!

I just want to be there!!

I want to explore the city and live in the DC moment.

Suddenly, a city I never thought about, is always on my mind.

I promise you my last 4 dreams, well that I can remember, were about DC.

Sad, I know, but hey you would be excited too!

Seriously tell me you would not be excited about getting the opportunity to work in this building

5 days a week!
