Now I'm not sure if this goes here, but I thought it would be interesting to have a thread like this. I came across a link on Stumble the other day and it got me thinking.

http://candychang.com/before-i-die-in-nola/

The idea is that people reflect on their lives and write what they want to do before they die. Death is all around us, and no one knows how long they really have.

The Website above talks about a chalkboard in New Orleans where people just write what they want to do.

" It’s easy to get caught up in the day-to-day and forget what really matters to you. When Candy lost someone she loved very much, she thought about death a lot. This helped clarify her life but she struggled to maintain perspective. She wanted to know what was important to the people around her. So with help from old and new friends, she turned the side of an abandoned house in her neighborhood in New Orleans into a giant chalkboard and stenciled it with the sentence “Before I die I want to _______.” so anyone walking by can pick up a piece of chalk, reflect on their lives, and share their personal aspirations in public space. "

So I'm making this place for the people of Trisphee to reflect on life, and to post what it important to them.


So I'll Start:

Before I Die I Want To... Find Where I Belong

[Asami]

Before I die I want to... be happy.

[Hermes]

Before I die, I want to be able to check off a list, knowing that I sent every day in conscious memory at least trying to bring a spark of joy to the lives of the people around me. It's my only job: Laughter. So, I just want to make someone laugh, every day, until I laugh myself to that final sleep.

[Anurah Loveheart]

All I ever wanted was to reach out to human beings not with my hand but with my heart.

[Dawn]

Before I die I want to find someone who loves me, blemishes and all, raise a family and teach my children to love more than hate, to learn from their mistakes and grow, to enjoy what a gift Nature is and that even if we are poor, love is more valued than money ever is.

[Belial]

Before I die
I want to pay off my parent's mortgage
I want to see my son get married
I want people to buy my books
I want gay marriage to be legal
I want to afford to send my kid to college

So much stuff. .

[Ame Froide]

Ive actually seen one of those walls. And my and my best friend wrote on it.
I said that before i die i want to meat my grandchildren.
She said before i said i want to move out.
I think this is a really cool idea!

[Hikori]

I know this sounds like a cop out, but here is my go at this:

Before I die I want to live
Before I die I want to love
Before I die I want to see
Before I die I want to be
Before I die I want to breathe
Before I die I want to sow...

I want to cry, I want to laugh, I want to shout, I want to pout, I want to clench my chest to feel this pain that wallows up inside.

Before I die... I want to exist... Because to me, that truly is the thing that I want to be.

[Mizeria]

before I die I'd like to cut ties with everything, and travel the world.
I want to stop letting myself be pushed into the middle of things. I want to stop holding everyone else up when they only let me fall.
I want to love, one man, for the rest of my life.
