"i want bones like iron, blood like mercury"
-dispatch
i want to be free-spirited and young-at-heart until i'm eighty years old and wrinkly from not wearing sunblock. i want to stumble home, heels in hand, at 2 am on a wednesday night when i'm forty. i want to never sacrifice who i am for what i want. i want to be patient and kind, strong and fair. i want to dream big without ever thinking of all the reasons it can't happen. i want to maintain an unhealthy amount of naivety and enchantment with the world. i want to have mishaps that will be funny once the aftermath has subsided, and so many adventures that if i don't write them down, i'll surely forget at least one. i want to understand the world the way i did a year ago-- and this time i want to write it down so that when i get confused again, i have some guidance to look to. i want to see the world. i want to follow a band on tour just because i can. i want to keep my youthful attitude well into my senior citizen days. i want to find the perfect song. and i want to want these things forever.
