Whats THAT life you've always wanted to live?

I want to live this life. My mom and dad got along, and NEVER fought in front of us. The money issues just disappeared, and we had money enough to live comfortably. My brother's cancer was gone, or the doctors could properly treat him for it. My other siblings health issues also weren't a issue. My younger half brother wouldn't have died, so I would have gotten to know him. Just things like that. I don't really know if I explained that the right way, but that's how I want my life.

Yaaa, I'm pretty sure I didn't explain this right, but whatever.

I do love my life, but I always thought my life would entail me traveling abroad and spending my days skydiving, or being a professional athlete. I have travelled quite a lot in the past, but I am not longer able to.

My dreams of being a professional athlete have been shattered due to injury, and traveling is out of the question for several reasons. I don't care much about the traveling as much as I do my athletic career-- that was my dream.

However, I sort of think it's a good thing, because I've developed an even greater passion for the arts, as well as for law-- and above all, I've developed an appreciation for life-- particularly my own. Despite everything I have endured, and continue to endure, I have a damn good life, and I don't plan to lose a second of it on self-pity.

So basically, that was the life I -thought- that I desperately wanted to live. Now I know that I don't. My life isn't perfect, but it's perfectly suited for me.

:) ♥

My perfect like would be full of love, so much less hate. I'd love to be the confident type of person. I would love to live in a beach town, somewhere hot with beautiful beaches.

I would love to have fortune, but in all seriousness, it's not a top priority for me. I don't know a life with it, and all I hear is that bad things come from it in the end and I find it can take people over and change them. But even saying that, I think everyone does want money, including me.

I'd love to have a big family that I'm close with, that's always been something i've wondered if i'd have in another life. Same with friends, lots of close friends, not lots of just friends.

Yeah, I guess i'd sorta change a lot if I could, but life is still pretty good.

Oh and my perfect life wouldnt have exams haha! :S

In 1989, the Alabama School of Mathematics and Science (ASMS) was established in Mobile. Exactly 100 years before that, a beautiful Victorian home was built in the foothills of the Appalachian mountains of northeastern Alabama. Ideally situated about one hour between Atlanta, Georgia, and Birmingham, Alabama, this house makes the ideal winter home. It is only a five hour drive south to the Emerald Coast of Florida (and to Mobile) which makes the beaches accessible, but the home is safe from a hurricane’s reach. This architectural piece of history can be yours if you are the winner of an essay contest entitled, “Why I’ve Always Wanted a True Victorian House.” A portion of the proceeds will be given to ASMS. This school, ranked one of the top 10 in Alabama, prepares students for a life of excellence. You can contribute to these students’ futures when you enter this contest to own a piece of Alabama’s history. Write a one page essay with the title mentioned above and it will be judged on 1.) Originality of Content, 2.) Organization, and 3.) Spelling and Grammar. Only 1000 entries will be accepted. All entries must be postmarked by January 31, 2009 with an entry fee of $250.00 (made payable to ASMS). If at least 900 entries have not been received by that time, your entry fee ( minus a 10 percent administration fee) will be returned to you via a self-addressed stamped envelope you must include with your essay. You must be at least 21 to enter. Be sure to tell everyone you know about this unique opportunity! (Especially if you think you are a better writer or have a more original idea!) At the top of your one-page essay, instead of your name, please write the last 4 numbers of your SSN and the last four numbers of your phone number.

Pretty much how im living it now..

But when i was born my family was on the poor side, i used to wear second hand boys clothes etc. I've moved a few times since then so my dad could set up a business in a smaller city, not a capital where we used to live. His business went extremely well and it is now all over the country (Australia). He then sold it and the people who bought it kind of wrecked it, but he doesn't care because neither he or my mum have to work anymore.

But other then that my life is really good compared to most of my friends (There families have gone through drug abuse, they have been sexually assaulted, raped, bashed etc)

I'm really grateful for how lucky i am and i like my life.

I've always wished that I lived on a working farm. Getting up early, working hard, going to bed exhausted, but also knowing that I *did* something. Doing it without being able to compare it to the life I have now--so I couldn't say "well I'd rather be watching TV". I've always wanted that. Or to be Amish. They're sort of the same thing, but not quite.

I don't even know why I want that so badly. But for years and years, I've wished that I'd been born into a family with a farm.

I would like to live of mine when I was back in Washinton.

My family and I moved from there to this sucky place, and I miss it so much :(

The life would be amazing. Amazing friends, amazing school, amazing place. Ugh I miss it so much!

ha is probably doesn't count since I have lived it before, but that is the life I don't have anymore and want.

I'd live in a big city, in a small apartment all by myself. I'd have a job that I'd go to, something that I really liked. I'd only talk to people when I absolutely had to. I realize how pathetic that sounds, but it just seems nice to me, being all by myself, tied to no one.

Either that, or being a park ranger at a really beautiful national park.

But when I was little, I used to imagine that I was a little girl named Matilda who lived in Europe. I would pretend that the food my mom made for dinner (i.e., macaroni and cheese from a box) was actually fancy French cuisine.

i like my life. it can be rocky at times, buuut i've had some amazing experiences most people never have in their whole life, let alone at 15 years old. i've lived abroad twice and i had the option for live abroad a third time (i turned it down to go to boarding school instead), and i've traveled more than the vast majority of people.

i am EXTREMELY lucky to be born into the family i was born into. i realize that not everyone has the opportunities i have and i'm so grateful for that.

For me I would like to be able to wake up each morning happy with the day before. I would love to say that I have helped lots of people, places, or things. To be loved by almost everyone. And to be generally happy no matter what I'm doing.
