A girl I once knew


I have been thinking back lately to my college days (before that day from hell) and remembering the girl I once was and some of my dreams that I once had. So I thought I would jot them down before they are totally forgotten. Some of these things I'm glad I never did while others I still hope to do someday.
own a red Harley
own a Dodge Ram
dance on a bar
get a tattoo (did that but still want another)
go sunbathing on a nude beach
ride a mechanical bull
live in New York City
go to Ireland
get my naval pierced
camp out on the beach without a tent
fall passionately in love with an equally passionate man
go to Mardi Gras!
publish a book of poetry
go to a Gun N Roses concert (kinda hard to do since they don't really exist anymore!)
go stage diving
take a road trip with no destination in mind
buy a pair of Manolos!! (i will do that someday!)
go down the highway standing out of the sunroof of a fab car (did that one thanks to some boys from college)
shoot a gun
punch a certain man
do some serious rock climbing
get totally trashed one night with the man I love (i know that's a little odd)
go surfing
take off on a horse and ride with no thought of when I will return
sail
give away life-changing amounts of money anonymously
and that's all I can think of for now. I'm sure I will add more to this at a later date.
There is part of me that misses that carefree girl that I used to be. How I would dance and not care who may see. I would follow my heart. I took time to be amazed at the stars and the fresh fallen snow. I wouldn't worry about the rules necessarily. I experienced the world with all five senses. I was naive and foolish, but I was at peace. I loved life with everything within me. Now I have responsibilities and commitments, and I have learned not to be so trusting of people. I cage my heart and only allow the feeling that are beneficial or responsible. I am well aware that all my actions have consequences, usually negative it seems. Well, anyway, most of that list will never come to fruition, but some of those things I am determined to still do. That's all for now.
