1.) Love and respect myself
-This life is too short to give my all to everyone and yet give nothing to myself
2.) Connect with my siblings before I graduate
-I'm learning nothing in the world is guaranteed. I might as well make the most of what the world gave me
3.) Do something extravagant
-I don't know exactly what this means, but I know that when I do it I'll just know
4.) Go on a Love, Lucy trip to Europe
-Such a great book and since I'm filled with so much wanderlust I suppose I can try to find my own adventure
5.) Love fearlessly
-I know I can do this. It'll just take work
6.) Revive the following hobbies: beading, embroidery, and friendship bracelet-ing
-I can't believe I gave up all my art simply because I got too wrapped up in a boy to remember I'm creative too
7.) Prepare for city living
-Gig Harbor, Reardan, Electric City: sheltered living. I'm moving soon because college is real. I need to be ready
8.) Really kick off the FLF
-Everyone needs a lot of love and a little help. It starts with one

Here's just a small dosage of what I am prepared to take on
June 2017-June 2018
One year
8 items here
Plus the 17 on my closet
Makes 25 big goals to reach
In just a little less than a year
Good luck to all you Wishwellians
I love you all
I strongly believe in the idea of the Loose Ends List. My loose ends series will probably never be complete and that's okay, because we've always got those ends to tie up. My Loose Ends spiel has been inspired by Carrie Firestone's debut novel, The Loose Ends List

I am defining a Loose Ends List as "all the things you need to tie together so that there is no possible way to experience regret"
Go forth and have good faith in yourself

I have come to learn
That I have been hiding
Behind what I believe
Everyone wishes to see

I have decided
That I am no longer
Taking orders
From that lying little *****
In my head

I am me
And that is far
More than enough

I am messy
And I am human
Which means I am strong

I have never been so grateful
For such cruel goodbye

You've given me the strength
To realize
I never loved myself

Now I can begin that journey
Samm Marie Jun 2017
My worth is undefinable
So is yours

Remember that
Samm Marie Jun 2017
The road is long
But beautiful
Just like the journey

There is nothing
Like realizing how much
You have left to do
To help you realize
How many opportunities
Life is giving you
To live
Samm Marie Jun 2017
Are the world's conversation
With your soul
Rather than mind
Samm Marie Jun 2017
I believe that there is much
To be said for
Those who have tied
All the ends neatly

— The End —
