I am a firm believer that everything happens for a reason. I often remind myself that things could be worse or that things will get better. As much as I don’t want to miss the moments happening know because I’m too focused on the future, I confess that I do find myself lost in thought about what will be.

I want to find “my person” and spend everyday working through the challenges of life with him. I would love to have kids and live in a cozy home in a location that experiences every beautiful aspect of all four seasons. I hope to go through boundless personal growth and maintain relationships with the people that I hold closest to my heart.

I accept the lessons each heartbreak and loss have to offer me.

I want to travel the world with the one I love and take millions of pictures that we will make into a book so that the endless beauty we witness will be forever captured in our hearts and in our book.

I want to slow down and enjoy everything this world has to offer. I want to read more, draw more, listen to more music, watch more cheesy movies, and so much more. I want to appreciate every moment I have with my family as if it’s the last. I want to stand in the middle of a forest, a field of snow, or the top of a mountain, take a deep breath just to feel it fill my lungs and be happy I am alive.

Just because I want all these things doesn’t mean they are guaranteed but no matter what happens, I will do everything in my power to remain positive. The only thing I have control over is myself and everyday I intend on trying to love myself a little more than the last.
