Before I Die I Want To ______
Now I'm not sure if this goes here, but I thought it would be interesting to have a thread like this. I came across a link on Stumble the other day and it got me thinking.
http://candychang.com/before-i-die-in-nola/ The idea is that people reflect on their lives and write what they want to do before they die. Death is all around us, and no one knows how long they really have. The Website above talks about a chalkboard in New Orleans where people just write what they want to do. " It’s easy to get caught up in the day-to-day and forget what really matters to you. When Candy lost someone she loved very much, she thought about death a lot. This helped clarify her life but she struggled to maintain perspective. She wanted to know what was important to the people around her. So with help from old and new friends, she turned the side of an abandoned house in her neighborhood in New Orleans into a giant chalkboard and stenciled it with the sentence “Before I die I want to _______.” so anyone walking by can pick up a piece of chalk, reflect on their lives, and share their personal aspirations in public space. " So I'm making this place for the people of Trisphee to reflect on life, and to post what it important to them. So I'll Start: Before I Die I Want To... Find Where I Belong |
Before I die I want to... be happy.
|
Before I die, I want to be able to check off a list, knowing that I sent every day in conscious memory at least trying to bring a spark of joy to the lives of the people around me. It's my only job: Laughter. So, I just want to make someone laugh, every day, until I laugh myself to that final sleep.
|
All I ever wanted was to reach out to human beings not with my hand but with my heart.
|
Before I die I want to... build my dream home and have a family to live in it.
|
Before I die, I'd like to own a rescue aviary so I can save unwanted/abused birds.
|
This is really sweet and inspirational
Before I die I want to love and be loved. |
Before I die I want to travel through space.
|
Before I die I want to teach a new generation about mistakes we and people of the past have made so they hopefully are not repeated.
|
Before I die I want to find someone who loves me, blemishes and all, raise a family and teach my children to love more than hate, to learn from their mistakes and grow, to enjoy what a gift Nature is and that even if we are poor, love is more valued than money ever is.

Before I die
I want to pay off my parent's mortgage I want to see my son get married I want people to buy my books I want gay marriage to be legal I want to afford to send my kid to college So much stuff. . |
Ive actually seen one of those walls. And my and my best friend wrote on it.
I said that before i die i want to meat my grandchildren. She said before i said i want to move out. I think this is a really cool idea! |
I know this sounds like a cop out, but here is my go at this:
Before I die I want to live Before I die I want to love Before I die I want to see Before I die I want to be Before I die I want to breathe Before I die I want to sow... I want to cry, I want to laugh, I want to shout, I want to pout, I want to clench my chest to feel this pain that wallows up inside. Before I die... I want to exist... Because to me, that truly is the thing that I want to be. |
before I die I'd like to cut ties with everything, and travel the world.
I want to stop letting myself be pushed into the middle of things. I want to stop holding everyone else up when they only let me fall. I want to love, one man, for the rest of my life. |
Before I die I want to master over 10 languages fluently. ;3
|
Before I die I want to meet my better online friends. Before I die I want to own my own property. Before I die I want to see my children raised to successful adulthood. Before I die I want to feel comfortable with my government. Before I die I want to see every continent. |
Before I die I want to watch and help my child grow into an adult. And hopefully be there for him in adulthood as well.
And just for fun.... something I will probably never get to do... but go to and travel around the UK. |
before i die i want to go to france.
|
Before I die I want to...
Get married and start a family. Watch that family grow up happy and healthy. Go to Ireland to visit my roots. Become a curator at the Smithsonian. Make a sizable donation to a charity of my choice. Make a difference. <3 On another note, I love the idea this thread is sending. <3 EDIT: Also, I just read the spoiler part of your previous post, and that was effing hilarious, Hermes. XD |

I want to walk down the isle and greet the love of my life at the end. High end / High class seems over rated. I want something special. Something more then the ordinary. Something that suits both of us. I want something romantic and amazing and unforgettable.
I want one man as mine for the rest of my life. Mind, Soul, and Body. Boy you are all I think about. All I dream. I crave you and without you the world is meaningless. Dull and boring. You bring Color. Hope. Life. My haven in the storms of life. My savior. My peace. You are the only thing that keeps me going. The only thing I can depend on. My light in the darkest hour. Before I die I want to show you exactly what you mean to me. |
