Make a Name

I want to successfully write a novel series and have at least one book featured on the New York Times' Best Seller list.

I have been writing stories since I was eleven. It would be a dream come true to actually get myself published and read.

Memorable Embrace

I want to kiss in the rain.

I know it sounds cliche or like a swift road to pneumonia, but it's on my list. There is just something insanely romantic about getting a hot, steamy kiss in the cold rain.

Cultivate Knowledge (2)

I want to learn Finnish and visit Finland.

I have been obsessed with all things Finnish ever since I discovered HIM. I can already sing a few Disney songs in Finnish, but I don't think that will help me get far if I ever visited the country. It is one of my bigger dreams. I mainly want to visit the capital, Helsinki.

Cultivate Knowledge

I want to learn Italian and eventually, visit Italy.

Italy is a beautiful country with a beautiful language. I want to be able to speak it as fluently as I can. I think it's good to be able to fully immerse yourself in a culture now and then

Come Face to Face with Inspiration

I want to meet the lead singer of my favorite band, HIM, Ville Valo. (And see them in concert)

I fell in love with their music in the 8th grade, and I still love them to this day. Ville's voice is so melodic and just all around inspiring. Not only is he very attractive, he is also a piece of art (in regards to his tattoos) and an amazing singer/writer.

Lose the Fear of Falling

I want to learn how to skateboard and be able to land at least two tricks.

I've had a skateboard for years, but something always holds me back from learning how to ride it. I think it's because I'm scared to death of falling off it. I want to lose that fear, that inhibition, and learn how to be freer.

I want to be able to not fear getting hurt or losing control. There is something amazing about skateboarding. I want to experience that feeling.

Abandoned Beauty

Ever see those old, run-down buildings and look at them with more than just disgust or annoyance? I do. I see them as, yes, slightly in the way, but also as something that adds character. Sometimes, the things we see everyday become mundane in our eyes. Looking at things through a lens sort of gives us a new eye and appreciation of things. With this, not only do I want to do an entire project on "abandoned buildings and such" but I also want to explore them. Look closer, see the details and the smaller things. I want to notice the remnants left behind of previous inhabitors. I want to see the life of these "dead" buildings and appreciate them in the only way they seem to be found useful anymore.
