Things I want to accomplish
Inspired by Lexie
Be able to tell my life story one day
Have someone treat me like my dad treats his guitars
Clean my room
Make my mom extra proud
Make my dad extra proud too
Throw Matts macaroni out the window again
Make my bed
Make a song
Go to Stanford
Go to college
Make enough money to live freely
Hug someone and whisper creepy things in their ears to make them go away
Throw flowers on the street when it's raining and watch them wash away
Pick the grass from the ground without someone telling me I shouldn't
Make a story to tell children on the public bus
Move to the city
Be the lady on the bus that all the kids love
Never dye my hair again
Go to Paris more than once
Not have my dad go away for more then two weeks
Smile when I'm sad
Be happy
Twirl my hair with my finger
Maybe dye it
No
You can't dye it
Frown at bullies
Stop bullies
Smile at least 57 times a day
Never frown more then 57 times a day
Remember to wear deodorant
Don't wear makeup for two years and then put it on and watch boys stare at you utterly confused how you could change your face that quickly
Love everything
Love dogs
Always love them
And cats too
I love all animals
Stare at the sun too long and blink away the blue dots
Find super weird curtains and hang them in my room
Paint my room ten different colors in one year
Brush my teeth and hair
Become someone special
When someone says "we get it Marisa, you can sing." Sing even louder
No one can stop you from following your dreams
Fight for your rights
Fight for your needs
Become someone invisible
But always get noticed by someone
Be a dentist ninja
So when you make people bleed you can say it was because they didn't floss
Don't care about what people think of your music taste
If they do, slap them
Be yourself
Shine like a doorknob that has never been touched
Don't be a star, everyone wants to be those
If you become a doorknob, people will touch you, dent you, make you dirty
But keep shining, like you are still an untouched doorknob
Laugh at yourself
Laugh with others
Laugh at Matt
Love Ilse
Love Ady
Love Mom
Love Dad
Fist bump Michael
Hug Lexie
Because you love everyone
They love you back
Except Matt
Matts weird
Throw tin cans at trees and see if they throw them back
Never give up
Sound as cheesy as possible at all times
Smile
Shine like a doorknob
Remember everything
Remember
Flowers on the street in the summer
Snow on the grass in March
Snow storms one day
60 degrees the next
Change frequently
See if people notice
Be a doorknob
Smile at doorknobs and say "hello fellow friend!"
Always start a conversation by saying "Hi Friend!"
Hug everyone
Fist bump everyone
Don't throw up
Ok so this was an idea my sister gave me. She wrote one too and it was super cool so I did it too! 😋
I'm gonna post one everyday. Some will be terrible. Some will be SUPER short. But some might just catch your eye 😁
