2005: Everything with faith, nothing without passion

For 2005, I suggest:

...that don't settle for a love that is less than all-consuming. Love only a love that aches and breaks and screams from within. Never go for comfortable love. Comfort is for the shallow and cowardly. Be jealous, be proud, hold hands, kiss in public, argue, spend sleepless nights, get hurt, break up, make up. Love only a love that is too passionate for your own good--a love so insane that you feel it physically--revel in your palpitations, in your nausea, in your bliss. Anything else is not worth your effort.

...that you chase after your dreams. Know what you want and get it, without hurting anyone in the process. Make dignified choices, only then will you gain people's respect. Break barriers, the world is too big--do not limit yourself. Believe in miracles, try and try until you die. Believe in the great force that will keep you afloat and guide you throughout your journey.

...that you do something you've never done before. Do something that scares you. Bungee jump, love without limits, leave your dead end job, dance in public, sing in front of a crowd, go to China, help a charity. I assure you, only when you do what you think is impossible will you find yourself.
