My Top 10 Reasons To Live

Okay this contest really stood out to me and I decided to go on and express my top 10 reasons to live.1

Now these are in no order they are just coming as I think of them so here we go.2

1) My Family3

Wow I cannot say enough my family means to me. I have been so blessed to have such loving people by my side. My parents are always on my side no matter what and my sisters despite all the fights we get into have always supported me. They have always been proud of everything I've done and were always there cheering me on at my swim meets. They seriously are the people I turn to when I'm sad and I'm always laughing the most when I'm with them. Sure they're a bit odd but then again if you know me you can understand.I relate so well with my family and my father has always understood my creative side more than anyone else since he himself is an aritist. My family will always be there and they have never left my side or judged me. Its because of them I am the loving accepting person I have become. I love my family with all of my heart and I could never imagine being away from them for more than a second.4

2) My Best Friends5

Words cannot explain my four best friends. Marissa, Mona, Sophie, and Raquel. These girls have gotten me through the bad times and the good. They have been there with me when I've gotten pulled over >.> and when I graduated. These are the girls I can literally tell anything too, they are like my sisters. I can sit up all night telling them anything or just sitting saying nothing at all and they know what I'm thinking. They're always there for me when I plot stupid ideas to throw chickens at girls in my Yellow Hummer with four pounds of mashed potatoes. Whether its singing along to the radio in my car while dangling out of my sun roof, or pigging out on sweets. Or crying over The Notebook I couldn't imagine my life without any of these girls. They have always been there to listen to me and encourage me to try my hardest. They have always made me laugh and were there for me when I needed a shoulder to cry on. Even since I've moved I find it hard to be away from them but that just goes to show that I would never give up my life for them. 6

3) My Writing7

This is also one of the many reasons I want to stick around too. I cannot say enough how much my writing affects my life. I've always been known as "the writer" in my family and among my friends. So to them I'm destined to be the next J.K. Rowling. Although the truth is I want someone to read my book, I want to know that people are listening to my thoughts, my ideas, and hopefully that maybe someone takes the lessons I incorprate in my writing and puts it into action. My writing has always been a huge chunk of my life and I wouldn't want to end my life knowing that I never was published. I hope one day to have my own book signing and hell who knows maybe even a movie ;D!.8

4)Travling9

I'm the type of person who loves to travel, one of the many reasons I could never kill myself or just die out of nowhere is because I feel like there is so much of the world I haven't seen! I want to cliff dive in Fiji, surf in Hawaii, make fun of Commies in China while rollerblading on the Great Wall of China with a Panda, I want to ask a French guy for French Fries with a fake moustache, I want to make pizza with the Italians while on a gondala, I want to tell an Aussie good day mate while boxing with a kangaroo. The truth is, I feel like I've only got a small taste of the world and I plan to see it all. Along with safaring on the back of an elephant. The world is a big place and I still need to make my rounds. There's still a lot of people to say and new food to try ! If anything the world should be scared for me.10

5) Water/Nature11

Weird I would list an element for my top 10 reasons to live, funny enough you need it to live xD! But no I think I was a mermaid at one point in my life. I've always felt some sort of connection to water and nature. I've always felt like I've belonged out in the wilderness where the wild things are and all of that. I love water, swimming was and always will be my favorite sport. I love being out in the wilderness to, out in the forest in the serenity of mother earth. Not to mention I would love to see the enviornment get better, this world is beautiful and I want my kids to be able to bask in the earth's beauty. 12

6) L-O-V-E13

Needless to say, I want to fall in love. Like head over heels, madly, passionately, deeply in love. I haven't yet expereienced it cause while I was in high school I didn't think anything of it. But now I want to find the other half of my soul who will understand me and be there to care for me alongside with my family. I want the other half, the missing puzzle piece in my heart. I want the one guy who will go to Pluto and back for me. I want to fall in love and get married on the beach towards sunset. I want to meet the person I love and grow old with them.14

7) College/Career15

Although high school ended for me this year, I'm really excited to start college and meet a bunch of new people. I can't wait to move on with my life and become independent and live for myself while I work for my Journalism degree. I can't wait until I'm working for the news and reporting to the world. I want to be able to write something and have it affect the world. I feel like my voice was not meant to be silenced but to be heard by billions. 16

8) Kids17

I love kids, I want to have at least two to four kids. I want to raise children and watch them go to school and teach them to walk and enstill some of the values in them that my parents enstilled into me. I want to watch my children graduate and become intelligent, independent people. I want to be apart of their lives and tell them each day how much I love them. 18

9) Random things19

There is a lot of random things I still have to do. Things like I stated in traveling. I want to go to different countries and ask people things. I want to watch a bull fight, I have to ask someone from Ireland if leperuchans are real. I need to go to Kenyah and race someone and lose miserably. I want to find the guy or women in Japan who invented Anime and punch them in the face and insult them for turning America into slaves to the Japanese. I want to crash a red carpet event and ask Tyra Banks where she gets all her sass from! Most importantly I have to go to a Gay Pride Parade! Im a big fan of them trannies! I want to get caught in a thunderstorm during a concert! I want to see a volcano and swim with dolphins!20

10) Me21

I know why I would make this last who knows. But I want to live for me. I want to watch myself become successful, fall in love, get married and all of that good stuff. I want to be there and watch all the good things and sadly the bad things take place. I don't want to be six feet under when they finally invent Flying cars! That would not be cool! I wanna be there for my friends when they get married, I want to be at my little cousins graduations, or recitals and soccer games. I want to go to the Olympics and watch Michael Phelps swim ;D! I mean there is so much I still want to do that I can't give up on me just yet.
