Gone But Never Forgotten

Twenty years from now, these are the things I would like to remember about myself:

1. Brittany and Vera and Kim are my best friends, and I know that they would never leave my side. No matter how many fights we have, they are always there. They are some of the only people that I know will never give up on me.

2. My family is the greatest gift that I could ask for.

3. Keep the dreams that I have alive, and don't listen when people tell me no.

4. I love music, and my love for it will still be alive in twenty years.

5. I want to learn how to play the bass, and I will learn it before twenty years is over.

6. Be yourself. Because everyone can jump in a lake if they say otherwise.

7. Regular jeans are against your religion.

8. Having your own thoughts and opinions is okay.

9. Just because someone has different values, religion, or views on sensitive issues doesn't mean they are bad people.

10. Don't judge. You don't know what someone has had to live through.

11. Being married is not a part of your plan.

12. True love is rare, make sure you mean it when you tell them you love them.

13. "Because I can" is the best answer for everything.

14. If someone takes your love for granted, they never loved you. If someone can walk out of your life because you aren't good enough, they never loved you. Remember how it feels when someone breaks your heart, because you will break a few hearts yourself.

15. MOVE ON! Don't dwell on the past.

16. Your goal in life isn't to be good enough for someone. Your goal is to be good enough for yourself.

17. Know no limits, and always go above and beyond, it's what you're good at.

18. Have no regrets.

19. We choose our own destiny. Make choices carefully.

20. You will live in California, and you will write for Rolling Stone. It. Will. Happen.
