the more I want to just live in a small house, but big enough to accommodate friends and family so that I can have dinner parties and fill my little home with the genuine love that comes along with full stomachs and talking over a mutually adored novel. I want to be the best babysitter for friend's children. I want to live more with less. I want to be an example someday, like how my mother has been for me.

I want to never get tired of looking outside my window, marveling at everything this world has to offer, even though I know its not always easy to look on the bright side of things when gray skies are above.. so I just have to remind myself that rain and storms make the grass greener.

mostly I just want to be happy and make others happy too.
