What I Really Want From Life

Sometimes life sucks, but keeping our goals in mind is something everyone should do.

What I Really Want From Life
Maizy Landreth

I have spent so much time searching what from life and from myself. Here is to all of those who want the most out of life, and won't stop until they get it. Here is for the hard workers, the bright thinkers. Here's to, well, here is to you.

Really, I want success. I want to wake up every day and know that I am in the right place and doing the right things. I want to have a good feeling when I see what I have done with myself. I want to make people proud and feel appreciated for doing what I love the most.

Really, I want family. I want to share my love with someone who shares it back. I want someone to share my views and my passions with. I want to grow up knowing I have left footsteps for my loved ones to follow. The family I have now is wonderful in every way, and I want to keep our heart alive.

Really, I want faith. I want to believe in something. I want to know my life is in good hands. I want something to keep me together when I fall apart. Knowing that someone is there, when it feels no one else is.

Really, I want a friend. Not those fake friends that will walk all over me. But a real true friend. I want someone who is there for me no matter when. Those that I have now, I hope they stay. I want them to be there forever.

Really, I want happiness. I want to smile. I want to bring joy to other people. I want life to mean something to me, and my life to others. I want my words to leave an imprint on peoples minds. I want happiness for myself, not from others. I want to create my own heart and desire and show people how it can be to do things for yourself, and be the best you that can be.

Really, I want my life. Sometimes LIFE IS HARD. It takes you on this crazy ride that seems like its never ending. This alone can be hard enough. Add in all the worlds negativity. The body shaming, the hate crimes, the technology. Its one big pot of negative weighing on top of surviving and keeping sane. Its so easy to think about how easy things would be without it all, but is that what I want? Do I want to throw it all away just for a break? No, I want to grow. I want to experience. I want to feel everything, even the pain. Without the pain, there is nothing to compare my ease to. Without the ease, I would never know the pain and how to change it.

There is so much to get out of our time here, make the best of it. Find what you want and go for it.

But this, this is what I want.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
