everything for the better.

I often look back at how things used to be.

I realized that is what makes up the majority of conversation.

I look back to days when everything was different.

When my number one priority was what I was doing after 4th period.

How simple life was, and how hard it is getting.

I say to myself, "Why do we do this to ourselves?"

Why do we move away from the things we love?

Why are we not satisfied with how life once was?

Why does everything have to change?

That is what makes everyone so unique.

Everyone goes through different challenges in life.

This is what causes them to change.

I would give almost anything to turn back time for a few days,

to have everything as it once was,

but I realize that I'm doing all of this to better my life.

I'm doing it to get where I want to go,

to reach my success.

Before I die:

• I will graduate with my degree in Architecture from the University of Utah.
• I will live in New York City for a while.
• I will be a success in architecture.
• I will start my own restaurant.
• I will get married.
• I will raise a child.
• I will design my own place.
• I will give a speech at a best friend's wedding.
• I will write a book.
• I will attend the funeral of a loved one.
• I will watch Kwynn grow up.
• I will love.
• I will fail.
• I will succeed.
