I found myself...
So yesterday I wrote a disturbing friends only entry about how lost I've felt as of lately. So I sat down yesterday and thought about everything I want out of life, and how I can achieve them all. Last year when I joined myspace I read Parker's about me page, and I've wanted to write one like it since then, but never actually did. So last night when I couldn't sleep from 3 a.m. to 5 a.m. I wrote one. And honestly I feel awesome now. I think everyyone should write their dreams down because it gives you something to look forward to.
I've also promised myself to make a huge effort to change the things I really want to change. LIke go to shurch weekly, work out at least 5 times a week, study HARDER, stop procrastinating, and not to drink as much.
Anyway, here is my compliation. For those of you who have myspace, it's also my about me page there, but I know a few people that like to check up on me who don't have myspaces, so here you go...
Hey Silly!! It's Emily! I’ve been a princess since 1984. I love cheerleading, dancing, clubbing, tinkerbell, hearts, 2 percent milk, cheesesteaks, and spending time with my friends and loved ones. People tell me I live my life behind a camera because I take pictures of EVERYTHING that I do. Memories are very important to me. Some people may think I’m a brat since I’m the baby of the family but I’m not: I just know what I want, when I want it, and how to get it. (usually). I believe everyone needs laughter, because life is too short to be taken seriously. I love to laugh and to make others laugh. Up to about age 10, my brother taught me everything I knew, but we turned out to be very different people. I used to think I knew exactly what I wanted to do, and then I went to college. Since I was 6 I’ve known I would end up somewhere in the field of journalism because I’ve always loved to write, read, talk, learn, research, investigate, etc. Now,all I know is I want to be in college the rest of my life (or at least working at a university). I want to help someone every single day of my life, even if it’s just something simple. I want to look towards the future because there is always something better to come. I want to convince the world that large amounts of make-up make people look fake (hence the word) and should only be used for Halloween, Hollywood, theatres and plays, and for dress-up -NOT everyday. I want to write my own book and discover a new flower that gets named after me. I want to travel and not only learn, but also understand my family’s Italian heritage. I want to live on Grandview Avenue, and then move to Ocean Avenue. I want to be the city girl that knows all the latest trends, and the surfer girl that knows all the secret beach spots-at the same time. I want to work in the city and have a vacation home in the country or on the beach because everyone needs a get away. I want to be a “Doctor” of something. I want to start my own magazine that lasts for more than 10 years. I want to create a non-profit organization that gives under-privileged kids the opportunity to be important people in society when they’re older. I want to own a sports team (preferably one in Philly) and write music for a record label. I want to open my own club, restaurant, and start a clothing line. I want to be a cheerleader, a lacrosse player, a sports broadcaster, and the president of an International Public Relations firm. I want to be that one successful person that came out of an unknown hick-town and put it on the map. I want to own a pink and black Lamborghini for work, a sky blue Jeep Wrangler for play, and buy my mom an Escalade. I never want to lose touch with my parents or my brother because family means the world to me. I want to die before them because I can’t imagine my life without them. I want to surround myself with people that tell me when I’m doing great, but also tell me when I’m in the wrong so that I can learn and grow everyday. I want friends that truly love me and don’t just stick around because of my job title, who I am, who I’m married to, or who my brother is. I want to be able to look in someone’s eyes and truly see their soul. I want to get married on the beach and play an infamous game of Forte volleyball in the sand at my reception. I want to marry my exact opposite so that we can learn something new from each other everyday. I want to teach someone who is miserable how to love life, the way my Mom is trying to teach my Dad. I've learned that not every chapter of your life has a clear beginning, middle or end, and they aren't supposed to. You won't always get that happy ending, but thats the beauty of it all. We all need to grow and learn from our 'mistakes' and 'misfortunes.' Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it all, without knowing whats going to happen next. It's like the quote I try to live by... “Laugh when you can, apologize when you should, and let go of what you cannot change. Kiss slowly, love deeply, forgive quickly, TAKE CHANCES! Give everything, and have no regrets... because
Life is too short to be anything but HAPPY!
And on that blessed day that God needs me, I want to die in my sleep, so that my whole life feels like it was a crazy, amazing, fairy-tale dream.
