I want to change the world some day. No, I do. And I'll make it happen. I don't want a ~normal~ life. I don't want to be a house wife with kids who falls asleep before 9 and is running the kids to the mall and soccer practice in between laundry loads. I also don't want to be a movie star. Or a rock star. I want to write a book, be a public speaker, write a collection of poems, SOMETHING to inspire a massive amount of people at once. I want to save the world from its self. I want it all. I don't understand what's so scary about that to people. I don't want a spot light. I don't think I have some talent that I don't have. I do know that I'm a damn good writer and I will make something of my self. I will have a 15 year old girl googling my name trying to figure out everything she can about me because I made her realize something about herself. I will have an 18 year old guy talking to his girlfriend about this amazing book some chick named Emily Gilbert wrote. I want that.
It's not fame, it's just knowing that something I did, something that came from my mind, inspired someone, even if it was just for a little while. I don't know what it is I'm going to do just yet, but I've decided this is my goal. I've made a lot of decisions lately, imaginary blog reader of mine. I've decided that on September 1st, on my 18th birthday, I'm getting a tattoo around my ankle that reads "Life is around you and in you," because I truly believe that, and the line is just drop dead beautiful. I've decided that I'm going to stand up for Equality more than I ever thought I was able to. I'm going to write a kick ass book. I'm going to hug Gavin Creel and thank him for inspiring me to be myself. I'm going to hug Jonathan Groff for allowing me to love him. He'll understand what I mean.
I just want to exist in a world knowing I made an impact. How lucky Gavin Creel is, to go to sleep at night, knowing he did everything within his power to inspire a change in people that admire him. How lucky Jonathan Groff is, knowing he allowed his true kindness to allow some girl fan of his to love him, and that it made her life? How lucky they are. I will be that lucky. You watch me.
