I want 'to be” braver by speaking my mind and voicing my opinions more. I want 'to be” the reason people smile and snort laugh. I want 'to be” more forgiving of myself and others. No one is perfect. I want 'to be” a person who always shares their food. Food = Love, so, Sharing Food is Sharing Love. I want 'to be” more understanding and empathetic towards people and their experiences. I want 'to be” a person who loves completely and without fear.
