What happens when the past was better than the present? What happens then?
What happens when the past was better than the present? What happens then?
— Pan’s Labyrinth
I want to ride trains in the East, I want to date a boy with facial hair that owns a big bike, I want to take a road trip with my girlfriends to the beach, I want to learn new languages, I want to learn how to become more organized, I want to date a boy that takes me out riding on his horses every weekend, I want to be so hopelessly in love someday that any sort of commitment doesn’t scare me half to death, I want to go to all of the cultural festivals, I want to raise a puppy to love me on snowy days, I want to take steps to start taking better care of my body, I want to love openly, I want to date a boy with an endless supply of money, I want to become self-sufficient, I want to get a degree in something I love, I want to travel the world with my occupation, I want to wear beautiful, sexy dresses to fun parties, I want to stay up all night talking about life’s mysteries with a group of girls that I just met, I want to date a boy that lives on the wild side, I want to make my family proud, I want to surround myself with people that have a zeal and hunger for bettering their lives, I want to stay debt free my whole life, I want to take chances, I want to learn how to cook, I want to learn how to work a big-girl job, I want to own a really nice fast and loud car, I want to get better at recognizing God in daily life, I want to become more open, I want to serve the people that I cross paths with, I want to visit art museums, I want to be part in a volunteer disaster recovery group, I want to go camping with friends, I want others to know what I know about the Lord our God, I want to date a boy that knows not only my worth but his worth as well, I want to have children;
I want to marry a man that will support me, love me, be patient with me, and help me accomplish all of these things.
