Ten Things I Want Before I Die

1. I want to see the world. I want to travel to exotic places, eat strange food, and meet new people.

2. I want a library, full of books, complete with a ladder like in Beauty and the Beast.
3. I want to have made someone smile, each and every day.
4. I want to sky dive.
5. I want to plant a garden, with flowers I can put in vases in my house, and vegetables I can eat off the vine.
6. I want to be surprised by something completely over the top and amazing.
7. I want to sleep under the stars.
8. I want to have a pillow fight where the feathers all fly out like they do in the movies.

9. I want to bake a cake from scratch, with three different layers and homemade frosting.
10. And I want you to be there.

Girls are like
apples on trees. The best
ones are at the top of the tree.
The boys don't want to reach for
the good ones because they are afraid
of falling and getting hurt. Instead, they
just get the rotten apples from the ground
that aren't as good, but easy. So the apples
at the top think something is wrong with
them, when in reality, they're amazing.
They just have to wait for the right
boy to come along, the one
who's brave enough

to climb
all the way
to the top
of the tree.

Block of Wood

And if the fire, if the flood

Burns the tree and thins the blood

If your tears don't want to dry

I can help you cry

Through the night

Through the night and day

I can't take your pain away

But I can help you cry

Through the night

Through the night and day

I can't take your pain away

I can try

If you listen hard enough...

you might just hear my heart breaking.

Alright for Now

Goodnight baby, sleep tight my love.

May God watch over you from above.

Tomorrow I'm workin' what would I do

I'd be lost and lonely if not for you.

So close your eyes

We're alright for now.

I've spent my life travelin'

I've spent my life free

I could not repay all you've done for me.

So sleep tight baby

Unfurrow your brow

And know I love you

We're alright for now.

I'd be hard pressed to find a day where I have felt so many different emotions in such a short time.
But this one is the strongest by far.

Well I won't back down

No I won't back down.

You can stand me up at the gates of Hell

But I won't back down.


No I'll stand my ground
Won't be turned around.

And I'll keep this world from dragging me down.

Gonna stand my ground
And I won't back down.


Hey baby, there ain't no easy way out.
Hey yeah, I'll stand my ground
And I won't back down.


Well I know what's right
I got just one life.
In a world that keeps on pushin me around
but I'll stand my ground
And I won't back down.


Hey baby, there ain't no easy way out.
Hey yeah, I'll stand my ground
And I won't back down.
- Tom Petty

I don't know where life will take me. No one ever can. It's a road we walk without knowing where the end is.

But I do know one thing-- I'm willing to fight for what I believe in.

So Life, bring it on. I'm ready for you. I have my ideas and my values and that is enough for now. I know what I want and am willing to work for it.

Just try and stop me.
