A Note to the Poor Guy who Loves Me

My dear,
Someday I want a life with you. I want a grand piano in our living room, I want a porch swing and a beautiful Golden Retriever laying in our front yard. I want a big kitchen with marble counter-tops where we sit down together for meals, and afterwords you can wash and I'll dry. I want to tuck our kids into bed and then fall asleep next to you. I want to grow old and senile with you until all we can do is yell at the neighborhood kids, watch game shows, and eat jello.

BUT...There's some things, just a few, one or two, that I need to do first.

I'm sorry but I have to, I need to, I'm going to...

*Climb the great wall of China and dance with the people in heaven park.

*Ride a donkey in Greece, jump off a cliff and stand on Mars rock.

*See the sunset then the stars from the other side of the world.

*Stand on the Eiffel Tower and have a french perv tell me "You are zee most beautiful gurl in zee world." lol

*I want to zip line through the rain-forest in Costa Rica.

*Dance in Cuba.

*Try some chili in Chile, jk I'm not that ignorant. I want to climb the Andes.

*I want to pet a kangaroo and snorkel in The Great Barrier Reef.

*I want to relax on the beaches of Spain.

*I want to see the Taj Mahal in India.

*I want to build a house for a family in Guatemala, and teach English to children in Fiji.

* I want to see the great African migration.

*I want to ride an elephant in Thailand.

I'm sorry but
I must see the world,
It's not what I'm trying to find, it's what I'm going to make, ME

*I want to see the Northern Lights, and stay in the Ice hotel.

*I want to get my hair straightened in Brazil and braided in Mexico.

*I want to eat Pizza in Italy and take one of those pictures like everyone else where I pretend to hold up the tower of Pisa.

*I want to visit a concentration camp in Berlin.

*I want to drink tea in Japan and sit on a pillow when I eat with my hands.

*I want to see a hockey game in Canada and get in a fight. Then they'll say "Get oot!" And I'll laugh and say "Soree, but I find it funny that you only pronounce a few words differently."

*I want to ride a camel to the pyramids.

*I want to walk the desert with the aboriginals.

*I want to open my mind, and discipline my body.

*I want to feel small, I want my problems to reveal themselves as insignificant, I want to drink dirty water, I want to sleep on the ground, I want to hold hands with a child who speaks another language and wants to show me a bug, I want to suffer, I want to be cold, I want to be hot,

*I want to taste every flavor the world has to offer, I want to see all the animals that crawl, climb and swim. I want to climb every mountain, see every waterfall, and meet one beautiful person in every country.

Now, my dear, I realize this might take me awhile.

But I promise when I'm done,
I'll come home to you hun...

We all have dreams and goals, some we don't even understand. It's important that we recognize and follow these, whatever they are, and however silly they seem to outsiders. Because when we stop chasing our dreams, we just might start living our nightmares.
