1. My friends/family1
I love my friends and I love to be around them. They make me smile and they make me love life. And, as much as I fight with my family sometimes, they're pretty cool. I love them good times and bad.2
2. Writing3
I love to write. It is a passion of mine and it's something I love to do. Writing is something that I really do well and I love knowing that. It's something that I know I'm good at and I do well.4
3. Theatre. 5
I don't want to make a career of it, but it's fun. I love doing musical theatre. It allows me to meet new people, sing, dance, and just have an amazingly fun time. I love how relaxing it is.6
4. The Kiss7
I still ahven't had my first kiss. Sixteen years old and I've never been kissed. I really want that kiss. I want to know what it feels like to have your first kiss with someone you really like.8
5. Love9
I eventually want to fall in love. I've never had anything more than puppy crushes, so I want to know what it feels like to truly be in love. I want to feel that overwhelming joy you supposedly get when you see the person you love.10
6. Goals.11
I have so many goals in life. I want to accomplish them all. I want to go into law and journalism. After college, I'd like to get married and maybe have kids. I don't know about the last part, though. I just know that I want to accomplish my dreams.12
7. Reading13
I love to read. Books amaze me. I adore reading stories that will make me smile. I like books that brighten my day and make me fall in love. I love the way books take you somewhere else. It's relaxing and so much fun. Reading is truly amazingly fun. A good book can make any day better.14
8. People15
I am such a social person. I have to be around people a lot of the time. I like haning with the people I know, meeting knew people, and even cheering random people up. I love being around others. I love cheering people up when they look so sad. Ever the hopeless optimist, I want to spread my joy to other people.16
9. Places to go17
There're so many places I want to go. I want to go to Europe, Asia, even Australia. I just want to go visit somewhere new and exciting. I've never been to New York. I'd really love to go there.18
10. Life19
I love my life in general. I have an amazing life filled with amazing friends. No one's life is ever perfect, but I think my life is pretty darn amazing. I'm always smiling and I love to laugh. There's always something good in every bad. I just adore living and I adore being me. I'm happy with who I am and the way my life is. I'm not perfect, but no one is. I do what I can to enjoy my life to the fullest.20
