“I want a life that sizzles and pops and makes me laugh out
loud. And I don't want to get to the end, or to tomorrow, even, and realize
that my life is a collection of meetings and pop cans and errands and receipts
and dirty dishes. I want to eat cold tangerines and sing out loud in the car
with the windows open and wear pink shoes and stay up all night laughing and
paint my walls the exact color of the sky right now. I want to sleep hard on
clean white sheets and throw parties and eat ripe tomatoes and read books so
good they make me jump up and down, and I want my everyday to make God belly
laugh, glad that he gave life to someone who loves the gift.”
