A couple years ago, I was afraid of wanting anything...

...I figured wanting would lead to trying and trying would lead to failure.

But now I find I can't stop wanting.

I want to fly somewhere in first class.
I want to learn about the world.
I want to surprise myself.
I want to be important.
I want to be the best person I can be.
I want to define myself instead of having others to define me.
I want to win and have people be happy for me.
I want to lose and get over it.
I want to not be afraid of the unknown.
I want to grow up to be generous and bighearted the way that people have been with me.
I want an interesting and surprising life.

It's not that I think I'm going to get all these things,
I just want the possibility of getting them.

The possibility that things are going to change.
