Girl hoping for the real success.

Sunday 10th May 2009.

A pretty damn good weekend. Haven't done anything substantial. Haven't saved the world yet. Haven't done a particularly good deed. Haven't even done anything amazingly creative. But good nevertheless.
Everyone tries to do something magnificent with their life, and make their own personal stamp on the world. But is that what we should all strive to achieve? Is getting your name in a star slab, or in the guiness book of world records, or a nobel peace prize really what marks whether we've succeeded or not?
Surely we should measure the success of our life with whether we've made an impact on anyone's life. Whether when we go there will be someone left behind who wouldn't be where they are without the aid of you.
So however important Saving-The-World seems to me, and I know I want to 'succeed' in so many different ways, there is only one thing I really want out of life more than anything else, and I think everyone will agree.
I want someone to say they couldn't have lived without me.
It might be a tall order, but I know that every single person wants nothing less than this from their life.
Yes we all want the house, the car, the holidays, the job, the memories... but it doesn't add up to anything unless you had someone to share it all with.

Girl hoping for the real success.
