I wanna make an impact on the world, and become an inspiration for people, heck, even one person would be amazing. I want to be a person that kids look at, or hear about, and say, "I want to be just like her when I grow up."
Oh, and, being able to play every instrument in the world

I want to visit Nepal, Tibet, Scotland, Alaska, New Zealand, Italy, Germany, Sweden, Norway and a few other places. I would like to climb Denali and reach the first base camp at Everest. I'd like to have my own place, an efficient and beautiful home in a somewhat isolated, pristine natural area. I want to get married and have a couple kids. Finally, I'd like to care for / help as many others as possible. I also wouldn't mind amassing a huge fortune and using much of it for philanthropy

-Visit every continent
-Save someones life
-Have a job that i love
-Go to college and get a proper job.

I want to visit Maldives for scuba diving and Europe as well! And also, I wish I could win a short story writing competition, even if it's just for once.
I hope I could be loved for who I am before I die. I am not sure about getting married and giving birth to children...

Welll I don't believe that I'm dying.That's just my beliefs. But IF I was to die..
I'd want for everything to be okay with me and the man I love..and I'd want to get married and have our family, liked we've talked about.
I'd also want to make sure my mother had everything she's ever wanted which would be a animal kennel. I'd want to see my lil brother get married and have kids of his own..I'd want to see my grandpa get his tire shop like he's been wanting. and I'd love to see the love of my life as happy and content as possible. I also would want to make sure my mom had her horse..and that she'd have help with it 24/7..I also would make sure she had her car fixed..if not fixed a good reliable car that she loved.
I believe that's about it..If theres anymore I'll post again.
Waiting is a sign of true love and patience,anyone can say "I love you" But not everyone can wait and prove it's true.
Some say it's painful to wait for someone,Some say it's painful to forget someone,But the worst pain comes when you don't know whether to wait or forget.

Hey! I'm currently trying to start writing a bucket list of things that I want to do/achieve in my life, and I was wondering what sorts of normal and crazy stud you guys have on there?
Some ideas that I have right now are

2. Visit as many countries in the world as possible
3. Teach abroad for a while
4. Volunteer in an LEDC in Africa and help the disadvantaged
5. Get into either one of the top universities in the UK or, preferably, one of the Spanish universities
6. Work on a cruise ship for a while
7. Audition for cirque su soleil

Here are a few of mine.
1. Visit Paris
2. Visit Australia
3. Visit all 50 states in the US
4. Go on a cruise
5. Pet a penguin
6. Meet Luke Bryan
7. Take my son to Disney
8. Move to Tennessee
9. Go skydiving
Nothing too crazy or daring. Somewhat practical.
I've been through hell and back and came out stronger than ever.

I want to have made a difference to someone's life. Go to university and get a job that I love and pays well. Have a family and not worry about expenses because I'm financially stable. Teach music for a while just for the fun of it. Be fit hahahahahahah. Travel a lot. Read a lot. Publish a book. Learn a new language and be great at speaking it. Learn the drums and the violin.

I've come across this thread again by accident, then I saw my reply... honestly, I don't recognize myself from back then, or what I wrote there four years ago. But in a way it motivates me to stick around to find out who I'll turn into for the next years. I'm hoping for better because I feel like failing and giving up. I can't say it enough. I'm tired.
Afraid of turning into a mediocre person without a way to go back. So much to do ugh. I'm far from doing it.
Sometimes I question this site for reals. It's like it helped me get better each time for short period of time, then it dragged me down for another good amount of time. The more complicated I get, and the more I see through things, the harder it is to help me, because I've lost most of my will to fight, to say the least. The more I know, the less I'm sure about who I am. I don't know who I am. Anymore.
So that's what I want to do before I die (not sure how I will but oh well) - I want to discover myself.
Also, I want to travel. A lot. Because the second possibility behind my suicidal feelings is being trapped in one place, especially after I spent months traveling last year. And that had a huge effect on me. I could breathe and be myself around myself although I knew a lot more and enough to see through my self deluding mind. So I was pretty much the same person I am right now but much more stable and less dependent on varying mystery and other obnoxious things.
I want to fulfill my dreams, get out of the country and build my individualistic way towards having a "career" in multiple art fields. I want to tell my story and spread the word, I want to share my world. I don't need to, but I believe I should at least try because it is a unique field of vast dimensions that I remain to go through and these are stories nobody has told before. Basing on what I've learned from artists that went into history, it is worth it as long as I have a story to tell. Honestly, I have too many... so many I'm mentally behind my own imagination lately. This is like a mission unfulfilled.
I want to discover the deepest layers of my own spirituality and complete the idea of belief of mentality at all... personal topic so I don't want to elaborate unless in private.
I think I found someone right for me. I want to make it work, make things right. Even if that means risk, to a certain level. I just want to correct the wrongs and not let another important person slip away. A person that can actually fuel me and push me to becoming my possible best one day, with that I can do the same for him. Even if I don't deserve such an amazing person since I'm stupid and greedy to the point I'm irrational within the relationship. It could be the second and last time I'm falling in love for good, only that this is incredibly serious compared to first and other times. And I don't believe in third chances. I don't. When it comes to this, who can? It's too unique of a feeling, experienced people would agree with me. No way I'm going to get a chance like this ever again in this life. It's such a scary thought. But it's true. There is no one else like this one person on Earth. That made me to this imperfect point (with only his presence), yet special I can't explain in words. I can only exclaim it.
I have my vision of reality, which includes what I wish to do. I want to do a lot of crazy things and try whatever the new there is, when I'm ready to get out of my comfort zone. And I won't care about what others say. I want to live. But I could be too optimistic when I say that. I'll expect the worst today... in 5 minutes maybe I'll break down. I just don't know. At least I can come back to this thread or check behind myself at all. For some comfort.
I wanted to make this post instead of a thread or blog entry, just want it here without public replies. The thread though, is about self reflection of a person who is on the road to death. I'm on the uncertain road to death just like everyone else, as far as mortality goes.
And I am self reflecting. This was truly brief.

It's ok to give in to an urge or make a mistake. You are only human and we all have our flaws. We all have our weak moments and we all make mistakes. Thats what makes us human.
Thats what makes us unique and beautiful
