who i want to be

The person i want to be is the person I dream to be. I dream of traveling the world with that special someone by my side. Also, living in the mountains on a lake with a cabin house and a wrap around porch. I always dreamed of sitting on the balcony writing stories and watching the sun go down with such a perfect view. But that’s all very materialistic, it’s where I want to be, but not WHO I want to be.

I want to be someone who doesn’t worry about the tinest inconvenience. Someone who doesn’t let things go to their heart so easily but instead let’s it go because God knows. I want to be the best mother I can be. I want to show my kids things like: who God is, how to love others but most importantly love themselves, I want to protect them from the evil our world has come to. I want to build a stronger and more intense relationship with God. I want to encourage others to find who God is and how he can save them.

I want to be like my mom. I want to be the woman she has taught me to be. She is the strongest person I know and does not let things bother her even when things are difficult. She enjoys life in moments and accomplishes what she dreams of. I aspire to be half the mother she is to me.

I want to be a better me in general. Part of me wants to be the “old” me. Not all of the “old me” but certain parts. I wish I could still be inspired by writing or motivated to do the things I loved to do. I wish I could find the time to write a poem that wasn’t for school. The old me was someone who everyone would say “when I see you, you’re never not smiling.” The old me was artistic and open minded. I want to be that old part of me, the positive bubbly side. There is no wrong in finding the old when looking for the new.

I have accepted that in life every time we finish a page we are closer to the next chapter. I am determined to be who I want to be. Not for anyone else but myself. The person who will do whatever it takes to protect themselves and the ones they love. The same person that would give anything to save a strangers life. The person who feels pure happiness when God uses them to bring others closer to him. I will be the best version of myself I can be.

This is me. Who i want to be. Someone who can stop and admire the shapes of the clouds making faces in the sky. Someone who sees eyes as a key to a soul. Someone who finds adventures in a rusty old abandoned home. Someone who sees what it’s like to love who they are and love those who pray to see a downfall. This is who I want to be.

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.
