Write it down, make it happen

I've been hearing a lot about this concept of "Write it down, make it happen".  It gets a lot of hype but apparently it works.  In some ways it makes sense; you're keeping your goals and dreams on the forefront of your mind.  However, some of the stuff I've heard has been outright far-fetched.  Things like a girl writing down a long detailed lists (REALLY obscure details) about a future spouse and everything happening exactly the way she said.  A musician who had the most distant of his professional goals realized.   Someone becoming a new person, changing the world, all because it was written down .  Part of me is still a little bit of a skeptic...  Still, I'll give it a shot anyways.  If none of it comes to pass, hopefully you may find it diverting.

I'll meet a man who isn't a perpetual texter but will call me up and then try to spend time with me.  He'll be chivalrous but more than that, genuine, because he really cares about people, really respects women, wants to be a good man.  Dating won't feel like a game because he'll be straightforward and drama free.  I will feel completely myself around him all of the time.  

I'll finally fall in love with a man who makes me laugh all of the time.  It'll do great things for my abs.  My cheek muscles will probably get sore too because with a man that makes me that happy, I won't be able to stop smiling.  

He'll be in to my bucket listing.  I know myself enough to know that I couldn't fall in love with someone who isn't at least a bit of an adventurous dreamer like I am.  However, he'll go above and beyond, do silly things like start going by Jack in hopes that we can compete together in a swing dance competition.  He'll help me check off item number 73 and propose when we're in zero gravity.  We'll be floating together and he'll just whip out the box and let the ring float over to my hand and I'll slip it on my finger.  He wouldn't want it to go viral or anything, but the video would probably get a million views or something.

He'll be a bigger nerd than I am (obviously if we're going up to space).  He'll be a creative go-getter-done sort too.  When I get the idea to try some sort of crazy project, he will turn into a big kid trapped in a ruggedly handsome man's body.  We'll build that greenhouse in our backyard, attempt raising chickens, plan a family flashmob, take that family trip to Chick-Fil-A dressed like cows, etc.  He will come up with plans cooler than the ones I just listed and the two of us will have fun, even if things don't work out how we initially planned.

He'll make me feel sane when the kids drive me crazy.  He'll be incredibly patient and kind when I am feeling frustrated and worn out.  He'll make me feel beautiful, even when we're old and wrinkled.  

I have been emotionally everywhere this week and although things have improved the last few days, today at the temple my soul finally felt wholly at peace.  After I got to the Celestial Room all of these elderly couples hobbled in.  My heart kind of melted everywhere as I heard a nearby couple tell each other that they loved each other.  In the end that's all I want.  If I can't have a love that'll last forever, then maybe I really will just run off to Dubai, become independently wealthy bachelorette.  For now, I'm still here...  writing this down...  

Alright universe.  I'm waiting.  Make it happen.
