Before I die, I want to find a beautiful peace where I'm satisfied no matter how hard my circumstances get. I want to make God proud of my life. I want to take risks and not look back thinking, I should've done this instead. I want to die knowing I did all I could with what I was given and made so many lives better because I was there.
I want to direct a film and act in a movie. Haha, a bigger dream would be to win an Oscar and meet Johnny Depp. :) Cheers.
'Before I die...' I want to marry my best friend... my true love... the man who allows me to be me... the man who brings a smile to my face... the man who puts a song in my heart... the man who allows me to think for myself and respects my opinions... the man I would give my life for. He knows who he is and he knows he is loved...
Also, before he dies he'll wants to find out where his father lives.
My only wish is for whirled peas,
To hold my two children and tell them how much I love and miss them who where stolen from me ( Patric James and Rachel Michele Wilson OKC). Before the sickness in me kills me.
Since the beginning of humans it's been scientifically estimated that 106 billion people have lived and died on planet Earth . . . before I die I'd like to know what this roller coaster we call "life" is all about -- what's the purpose. We're born, most of us work hard, we retire and then we die. And inbetween we just procreate, build things, kill each other, eat and socialize to name a few. I guess I'm still in that "who am I and why am I here" stage. Perhaps dying will clarify that for me, though I doubt it.
Well that's simple-- enjoy being alive another century
Great piece!
Transfer my brain into a cyborg body...so I can crush those who oppose me!
Figure out the origin of the logic that surrounds us, from dealing with the extremes of nature and predators to the problem of obtaining nutrients. Already done all the been there done that stuff I want to do such as hiking the entire Pacific Crest Trail in one season
And going through the Grand Canyon John Wesley Powell style in a wooden dory, the ULTIMATE thrill! Man, if there was anything I'd want to do again that would be it!
If Class 10 Lava Falls rapid doesn't make you go Oh My God!, nothing will!
If you want to read a great story about what its is like when a group of men suddenly know for certain they will be dead within hours and what their conversations then consist of, read Ray Bradbury's short story Kaleidoscope about a rocket ship that blows up and sends all the men still alive in space suits their separate ways into space. That story literally changed my philosophy about life when I was a teenager.You can't change a life that has been empty because you put off dreams, and you cannot erase one that has been full because they were at least attempted
And that dream can be something as simple and common as being part of a nurturing family
To have peace, understanding, communication, reconciliation, and unconditional love between our family members before I die. Nothing else matters more. I pray each and every day that the Lord will heal our family. Please help if you believe in prayer.
Before i Die, I'd like to find out "Who I Am", Having been "Sold" as an "Infant", I'm not talking about a "Child" born in some other country, I'm referring to a "Child" born in New York, and because this "Child" is of a mixed race, the "Child's" Mother is forced, by her "Father", to (give) this "Child" away and never have any contact with said child, (her "Father" also gives the "Person" who now has this "Child" $300K, making sure that the "Demand" that "No Contact" would hold), as this situation took place in the 1950's, and as no missing child report was ever reported, this matter went un-noticed for years, that is until "BCW" gets a report of "Child Abuse" alleged by a Public School Teacher, when "questioned" by a social worker, this child's Guardian states that this "Child" was left with her when the child was 6 weeks old and the Mother never returned to pick up the "Child", (who, by now is 6 years old), if this "explanation" is to be believed, a person would have to be a complete idiot; This "Child", having been removed from this "Guardian", is put through sheer hell for the next 20+ years; simply because, from Birth, he wasn't wanted - by "Anyone", "No Child has the right to go through life without knowing from whence he came".

I would like to help leave this world better than I found it.
