i wanna

i want people to think of me like that-- as a flourishing kind of person. like that's the picture they get in their mind when they think of me. that almost aloof kind of joy that seems to never be phased. resilient. i want people to swell with contentment around me. i want to be great and make the world great. i hear so many people ask all the time what the point of life is, and i guess it's a little different for everyone, but i think the general point is to make an impact. most are small, little ripples in the swimming pool of the world, but every now and then, you get to make little waves. not big ones, just like the ones you see at panama city and gulf shores. nothing to brag about, but something of substance. i want to be substantial really. i think we all have to matter to each other for anyone to be substantial. i don't know much but i know i want to love and be loved.
